Nov. 21: The government has formed a committee to resolve the confusion over the C&D Land issue, and the state government's stand is pro-farmers, assured District In-charge Minister N.S. Bhosaraju. Addressing a meeting with public representatives, prominent figures and farmers at the city's Crystal Court Hall, he said that a committee has already been formed and members have been appointed, and objections need to be submitted to the committee and efforts should be made to resolve the confusion. The government is working to resolve the confusion. The committee members will come and gather opinions. He is confident that this will lead to a solution, and he called on the farmers to continue organizing. Appeal to Supreme Court: Ponnanna It is a worrying development that the Kodagi land issue is turning into a dispute. In this regard, efforts will be made to find a legal solution by filing an appeal in the Supreme Court, said Chief Minister's Legal Advisor and MLA A.S. Ponnanna. The CD land struggle should be conducted legally. There is no room for emotions in the law. The struggle should be carried out on the right path without going astray and justice should be provided to the farmers. It should first be understood that CD land and Section 4 are different subjects. The state government has formed a review committee and the Supreme Court has formed an SIT. Farmers should first be made aware of this. In 1982, 11,772 acres of land were first notified. Confusion started after the 1994 order. 11 thousand hectares of land in Kodagu was included in CD land. The committee should be tasked with explaining the facts in this regard. The government had ordered many years ago that the land other than the protected forest should be acquired by the Revenue Department. The order was amended and issued in 1993 as well. However, the Forest Department officials have created confusion and brought it to this stage. He said that if an appeal is filed, the chances of winning are high. A logical conclusion is needed: Mantar MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda said that farmers have been facing problems for many years due to this issue. Land that is not suitable for agriculture was converted into C-D land. This problem exists in an area of 1 lakh 30 thousand hectares. Farmers have the opportunity to provide land under Form 57. There should be a logical end to this confusion. Farmers will not be allowed to be evicted. He clarified that the government has not issued an order to clear C-D land. There is an order not to convert it into forest: KGB Former Assembly Speaker K.G. Bopaiah said that this problem has affected the Western Ghats region. As a result of the Forest Department issuing a circular at will, we are in a state of limbo. There are clear orders not to convert C and D lands into forest. This problem has arisen due to one of the members of the committee that has just been formed. He expressed dissatisfaction that the authorities have given the wrong message to the people's representatives and the result has reached this stage. Officers in the committee that created confusion Suresh Chakravarthy, president of the Farmers' Struggle Committee, said that it is welcome that the government has ordered a review. However, the confusion was caused by an officer in the committee himself, and he should be dropped. This confusion has been created due to the irresponsibility of the officers, and the locals should be included in the committee. 4 Back to page five The registration in 1905 has now changed to forest. How is this possible? He questioned and said that 5,000 families have come out on the streets. If the state and central governments work together, the confusion can be resolved. Joint survey should be done: Medappa Former Legislative Council member S.G. Medappa said that no government has issued a circular against farmers. The Forest Minister should withdraw the anti-farmer circular. The unscientific survey is not right. The officers have given orders sitting in their offices. A survey should be done in this regard. He opined that the problem can be solved if it is sanctioned in an illegal manner. Kudiyara Muthappa of the Tribal Farmers' Association said that there is a conspiracy to convert fertile agricultural land into forest and mobilise farmers. After the Kasturi Rangan report scare, C-D land is haunting farmers. It is not right to lease a small amount of government land to small farmers. Demanding that the land be given title deeds, he said that a legal fight is needed. A strong argument should be made in the Supreme Court, he said. There should be a change in the law Nanda Subbaiah said that in order to resolve the confusion, there is a need for a change in the law. Farmers have made a living by farming on land that is not suitable for agriculture. This should be recognized. He said that the tendency of the Forest Department to hook them should be stopped first. There should be MLAs in the committee: Arun Machayya State Sports Authority Vice President C.S. Arun Machayya said that he is not completely happy with the members in the committee. MLAs should be included in the committee. It is not right to give the ball to the officials. The officials are sitting in the air-conditioned office and creating confusion over C-D land. Due to this, the cultivators are in trouble. The work of taking back the land given to the land bank should be done, he said. The convener of the Kasturi Rangan Report Protest Committee, Teethira Dharmaja Uthappa, said that a huge protest was planned against the Kasturi Rangan Report in 2013. Now the C and D land dispute has arisen. The committee's objective is to fight the issue of Kodagu without politics. Now that the committee has been formed, there is confidence in a solution, he said. Raitha Sangha District President Kadyamada Manu Somaiah said that information should be available about the committee's functioning. The in-charge minister's job
