CHANDIGARH: The BJP government in Haryana is planning to take over the management and control of deceased Yoga Guru, Dhirendra Brahmchari's Aparna Ashram Society in Gurugram in view of over two-decade long disputes between the members of the Society.

The state government will introduce a Bill - the Aparna Institution (Taking over of management and control) Bill, 2025 in the assembly during the ongoing budget session to facilitate the takeover of the assets of the Society.

The government takeover will also mean that a high valued and contentious chunk of about 24 acres in Gurugram's Silokhra (Sector 30) which was at the center of a controversy following its sale at a throwaway price to private companies in December 2020 will also come under government's control. An administrator will be appointed for carrying on the management of the institution for and on behalf of the state government, officials said.

As per the justification given by the state government for tabling a Bill to take over the management and control of the Society, the disputing groups of the society who were involved in multiple litigations were illegally trying to sell 24 acres in Gurugram for their personal gains.
