VS calls for eviction of encroachers at Munnar

The Hindu  

Opposition Leader V. S. Achuthanandan called for strong measures to evict the encroachments and unauthorised constructions at Munnar on Sunday. In a statement here, the Opposition Leader said that an all party delegation should visit Munnar in view of the intensification of land grab and draw up a time bound plan for eviction of the encroachers. Mr. Achuthahdnan said that he had information that the land distributed to plantation labour by the previous government was now being brought by the land mafia by tricking the labourers. Recalling that the Revenue Minister Adoor Prakash had denied fresh encroachments and maintained that they were all creation of the media, Mr. Achuthanandan noted that this suggested that the government is aiding the encroachers.
