CPI state executive committee member Sathyan Mokeri, who led a CPI delegation to Nelliampathy, has alleged that the Government Chief Whip and others are trying to sabotage the take over of the Cherunelli Estate by the Forest Department.

He was speaking to mediapersons after visiting the estates in the Nelliampathy hills on Thursday. “At this crucial time, it is unfortunate that the Chief Whip was becoming a mouthpiece for those who have broken the law,” he said. During the LDF rule, all procedures for the takeover of the Cherunelli estate were completed. There are no small farmers in Nelliampathy and that various families have illegally divided holdings among their members. On inquiry, it was found that there were no registered workers in the Shernelly estate, he added.

Mokeri said that 10 estates have already been taken over by the Forest Department in Nelliampathy and the others whose lease period have ended and those which violated the lease agreements were in the process of being taken over.
