As a part of its drive to tackle land mafia, the Uttar Pradesh government said Monday that it will start booking them under the Gangster Act.&nbsp;

Teams jointly led by the District Magistrate and Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) will act on all reports of corruption that they receive.

In April, the Yogi Adityanath-led government had approved the setting up of an anti-land mafia task force in a bid to free state-owned land from illegal occupants.

The state cabinet had taken the decision that encroached land would be identified within two months by the district-level task force, which was also told to prepare a list of all land grabbers in the state in order to rein in the land mafia.&nbsp; 
 
State Power minister Srikant Sharma was quoted as saying no grabbing of public land will be permitted &nbsp;in the name of religion and that anybody whose land had been encroached upon could lodge a complaint at a police station.

He had also said that the government has also decided to develop a portal for lodging complaints to put an end to land grabbing.
