Special Correspondent

Possession deeds to be issued: Minister

Thiruvananthapuram: Minister for Welfare of Scheduled and Backward
Communities A.K. Balan said here on Saturday that the government would
not evict Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe families living on surplus
or puramboke land. He was addressing a function at the Ninankonam
colony in Kilimanoor Assembly constituency during a tour of Scheduled
Caste/Scheduled Tribe colonies in the district.

Mr. Balan said the government did not intend to evict the 51 families
who had encroached upon private land and the 91 families settled on
surplus land in Ninankonam colony. "Even though encroachment cannot be
justified, they will not be displaced. The government will initiate
moves to issue possession certificates to the 142 families," he said.

Navayikulam panchayat president Shajahan presented a memorandum to the
Minister, urging the government to remove the legal hurdles in issuing
possession certificates. N. Rajan, MLA, presided over the function.
District Panchayat President Anavoor Nagappan and Vice President B.P.
Murali were among those present.

Later, addressing a meeting at the Idinjaar Scheduled/Scheduled Tribe
colony, Peringamala, the Minister said he would take steps to write
off the arrears on electricity bills of residents who had their
connections cut off due to non-payment of bills. He said all eligible
families would be provided electricity for their houses. Mr.Balan said
416 acres of land had been identified for distribution.
