Madikeri, Aug. 13: Former president of the Gadduge Management Committee, Ravi Kushalappa, has demanded the immediate clearance of unauthorized constructions in Gadduge, Madikeri, as per the court order and the state government order.
Speaking at a press conference at the city's Patrika Bhavan, he said that out of the 19.86 acres of land in Gadduge, 1.18 acres have been encroached. Our struggle will continue until the encroachment clearance work is done. There is no permission to alienate the land belonging to monuments under the Archaeological Department to others or give it as sites. Despite this, houses, schools, hotels, and ITDP residential houses have been built on the land belonging to Gadduge. He said that the court has not accepted the appeals to regularize the unauthorized encroachments.
The government had on November 4, 2024, ordered the eviction of residential houses, schools, hotels, and hostel buildings in the encroached land of Gadduge within 15 days. However, Ravi Kushalappa, who alleged that the eviction process had not been carried out even after nine months of this order, demanded that the District Collector should immediately clear the encroachment of the land belonging to the monument under the Archaeological Department. He said that he would oppose the construction of a glass bridge at Rajasit.
District Veerashaiva, Lingayat Mahasabha President H.V. Shivappa spoke and expressed dissatisfaction that the district administration was not taking any action despite the government's order to clear the encroachment on Gadduge.
Former MUD president Ramesh Holla, Veerashaiva Lingayat Mahasabha General Secretary Samba Shivayya, Treasurer H.P. Udayakumar, G.P. Former member D.B. Dharmappa was present.
