Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday said an inquiry was underway in the case pertaining to alleged flouting of norms by the previous Congress regime to clear over 3,000 sq m land in Panchkula to Associated Journals Limited (AJL) over 10 years ago.

"A departmental inquiry is being conducted in the matter of the National Herald case after which appropriate action would be taken," Khattar said in Panchkula on the sidelines of a function.

On Thursday, state minister Anil Vij had trained guns on the previous Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Congress government, alleging the former chief minister had gone out of the way to clear over 3,000 sq m land in Panchkula to AJL 10 years ago. "B S Hooda was so eager to oblige Gandhi parivar in the National Herald case that he himself signed the illegal order," he alleged.
