Plea to remove encroachments in Kodaikanal referred to forest bench

MADURAI: A Public Interest Litigation seeking direction to remove encroachments in the roads leading to Bryant Park within the Kodaikanal municipality, was transferred by the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court to the forest bench at the Madras High Court recently. Also, the earlier one-way route from BSNL Office to Coakers Walk via Observatory Road was commonly used by locals and tourists. The conversion of the Coakers Walk to Green Valley Road into a two-lane road also created heavy traffic jams, leading to a risk of tourists getting stuck in the forest area until night hours, Hussain added. He wanted a direction to the authorities to remove the encroachments in the Bryant Park roads and to restore original road routes in the municipality.
