K. Muthusamy, one of the petitioners, said that the families were staying in the plots, which falls under Government Natham poramboke category, for the last 73 years.
“Conservancy workers who have been staying under similar conditions in other parts of the city have been given title deeds,” he said.
The petitioners said that the revenue officials had promised to look into the grievance.
Dalit studentsA group of 25 post graduate students belonging to Adi Dravidar community and studying in Chikkanna Government Arts College here, gave a memorandum to the District Collector seeking accommodation in the Adi Dravidar students hostel functioning on the institution premises.
T. Paventhan, a student from Dharmapuri district, said that only undergraduate students were being allowed to stay in the hostel.
