A large extent of land belonging to Sri Subramanyaswamy Devasthanam in Viralimalai which has been encroached will be retrieved shortly. The district administration will initiate steps to evict illegal occupants from the land, said Collector S. Ganesh.

The Collector, who earlier inspected a piece of land remaining encroached for a prolonged period, advised the officials of Revenue and Survey Departments to immediately measure the extent of the site. The action followed the proceedings at the ‘jamabandhi’ (annual verification of land records) for the Viralimalai area. When the verification of patta and other land records were taken up during the ‘jamabandhi,’ officials came to know the encroachment.

Mr. Ganesh directed the revenue officials even to withdraw the patta, if any, sanctioned to the encroachers.
