There have been cases where unauthorised constructions have taken place in flood plain lands. This is why checking land details on bhu naksha becomes important. To tackle the growing land mafia cases and enable the aggrieved or vigilant people to report individuals, groups or even companies that have grabbed land illegally, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath set up the Anti Bhu Mafia or Anti Land Mafia portal in 2017.
