Kerala Govt. to retrieve public land
Proving that the LDF government in Kerala is committed to retrieving public land from encroachers and assigning them to landless people, Chief Minister V S Achutanandan on Wednesday said, “The LDF government will continue its initiative to retrieve land illegally occupied by plantation groups in the state.” He alleged that real estate businessmen were buying prime land all over Kerala using ‘hawala and unaccounted money’. The situation was such that an ordinary person could not buy a single cent of land at current prices, he said.
The government had so far succeeded in recovering 1200 acres in Munnar during its first phase of ‘Munnar eviction drive’ and 13,000 acres in different parts of the State. The government’s new legislation to protect paddy fields and water resources has received the nod from the President, he said, adding that this would give an impetus to the government resolution. He said the LDF government was only following the policies formulated by the late E M S Namboodiripad, A K Gopalan and other CPI-M leaders through the land-rights struggle in 1970.
