Union Minister of State for Consumer Affairs C.R. Chaudhary has said both the Centre and the State government should take action against encroachments on public property.
Addressing the media here on Saturday, he said the Centre could not directly interfere in the Munnar eviction issue as it was a State subject. Mr. Chaudhary said the Centre could only make suggestions.
“The Union Ministry of Environment and Forests is aware of the developments in Munnar and the National Disaster Management Authority under the Home Ministry has been informed,” he said.
