The Tamil Nadu government is committed to resuming control of janmam lands and providing necessary amenities to the people residing there. The Chief Minister emphasized the need to take concrete steps towards improving basic infrastructure in these land parcels where people have lived for a long time.
NEW DELHI: The Tamil Nadu government has decided to approach the Supreme Court to lift the temporary stay that prevents the creation of basic facilities on janmam lands in Gudalur, located in the Nilgiris district.
Additionally, the State government will request the Supreme Court to allow cases related to the Tamil Nadu Gudalur Janmam Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1969, to be heard separately from other pending cases.
During a high-level meeting held at the Secretariat in Chennai on Thursday, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin directed officials to continue reclaiming janmam lands covering an area of 34,986 acres. These lands had reached the end of their lease period. He also instructed officials to ensure that people living in ‘Section 17 lands’ under the Tamil Nadu Gudalur Janmam Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1979, receive essential services and infrastructure.
