KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala has said that the UDF meeting scheduled to be held on August 13 would sort out the Nelliampathy issue.
Inaugurating the district conference of the Differently-Abled People’s Congress (DAPS) here on Saturday, the KPCC president said that the constituents of the UDF would resolve the Nelliampathy controversy after discussions.
Chennithala said that the key factor behind the Nelliampathy controversy was an example of violation of law.
The KPCC president said that the issue of encroachments should be viewed seriously in the wake of serious environment problems that affect people.
He said the visit of MLAs’ fact-finding team, on his directive, to Nelliampathy and their findings would be taken seriously.
“The issues pertaining to encroachment and settlement should be viewed separately,” he said.
Chennithala recalled the denial of environment clearance to Silent Valley project by the then Central Government headed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The KPCC chief said that the then Chief Minister A K Antony took the decision to give title deeds to the settlers with the cutoff date of January 1, 1977.
“The Oommen Chandy Government took the decision to clear the backlog on the title deed distribution and the function held in Idukki recently was a pointer,” Chennithala said.
“Revenue Minister Adoor Prakash directed the department officials to work on the total number of families who are yet to get the title deeds of lands with cut off date of 1977,” he said.
DCC president P Mohanraj presided over the function.
