Moolampilly package: Revenue minister petitioned over delay in implementing monitoring panel decisions
The petition was submitted to mark the anniversary of the last meeting of the monitoring committee chaired by the District Collector on June 27, 2024. The committee, which was mandated to meet monthly to review the progress of the rehabilitation package, has convened only irregularly, with long gaps between meetings. The June 2024 meeting was the first in five years. The monitoring committee was formed by the Additional Principal Secretary (Revenue) following a meeting held in the Chief Minister's chamber on June 6, 2011.
The committee was expected to hold monthly meetings to review the implementation of the package and submit reports to the Revenue Minister. Representatives of the evicted families have consistently cooperated with the committee.
The authorities have yet to act on a decision taken at the last meeting to issue evictee cards to the families, despite it involving no financial burden to the State exchequer. The decision to issue the cards was taken at a meeting held in 2018, and the MCC had submitted all relevant data of the eligible beneficiaries. Though the District Collector had promised to resolve the issues discussed at the last meeting within three months, there has been little progress, the MCC said in a statement issued here.
The Cochin Port Trust (CPT) has yet to provide an update on the government's original promise to offer a job to one eligible member from each evicted family as part of the rehabilitation package. At the last meeting, the CPT representative claimed to be unaware of the government order dated March 19, 2008, which assured employment and promised to verify and report back.
In 2008, a total of 316 families were evicted from Mulavukad, Moolampilly, Kothad, Cheranalloor, Eloor, Manjummal, Vaduthala, Elamakkara, and Ponekkara for rail and road connectivity for the ICTT project without any prior rehabilitation package. The district administration is responsible for implementing the package, which the evictees secured through sustained protest.
The MCC questioned why the government had not shown the same urgency in implementing the rehabilitation package as it did in carrying out the evictions. So far, 38 evictees have died without receiving the promised benefits, while many others remain bedridden.

Environmental activists disrupt road widening work in Mysuru, seek assurance on tree park
Nearly 200 environmental activists objected to the road widening work initiated by authorities on the Hyder Ali Road in Mysuru, where scores of trees were felled a few months ago resulting in widespread outrage. The activists, who began their demonstration at around 10 a.m. on Thursday, thwarted the road widening works until 3 p.m., and demanded an assurance from the authorities that tree planting would be taken up on the roadside, apart from the establishment of a park comprising 400 trees. Following the opposition, Mysore City Corporation (MCC) officials shared relevant documents and gave a written assurance to the activists that tree replanting on the road would be taken up within six months, according to Kamal Gopinath, president, Peoples Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), Mysuru. There were activists from nine organisations, including Mr. Gopinath, state president and general secretary of 'Parisarakkagi Naavu' A.T. Ramaswamy and Parashurame Gowda respectively, members of 'Parisara Balaga', Clean Mysore Foundation, and Dalit Panthers Association, among others. The activists also demanded that traffic surveys and analyses, if undertaken for the widening and development of the road, be released. A PUCL release said the authorities have given a written assurance stating that the widening works would be completed within six months, and as many as 150 saplings will be planted on the right and left pathways, apart from the middle meridian of the new road. The widening work is being undertaken at a cost of ₹20 crores, and a sum of ₹50 lakhs has already been released. The MCC team also released the Traffic Survey and Analysis report, which was prepared before the trees were cut down in April. Senior forest department officials who apprised themselves of the demands of the activists, said that land for the proposed tree park was to be identified and provided by the MCC, though the latter claimed that it was the responsibility of the forest department. The activists said they would vigorously pursue the demand for a tree park with the government and the forest department in the days ahead.
