Chandy demands all-party meet to sort out Munnar encroachments

Kerala Opposition Leader Oommen Chandy on Tuesday demanded convening of an all-party conference to sort out the problems related to land encroachment in Munnar caused by the Government’s failure evict the squatters. The Communist Party of India was sponsoring large scale encroachments under its tribal outfit in Wayanad to conceal the Government’s failure to evict large encroachers in Munnar, he said. In Munnar, large land sharks had encroached upon Government property, while in Wayanad land had been occupied illegally by a group tribals who belong to the ruling party. When asked what purpose an all-party meeting on Munnar would serve, Mr. Chandy said the Opposition had extended its full support to the eviction operations.
