Madikeri, Nov. 6: The Kodagu district unit of the Farmers' Association has strongly condemned the plantation destruction incident in Mukkodli and has demanded that the Forest Department pay compensation.
A team of members led by Farmers' Association District President Kadyamada Manusomayya went to Naniyyappa's plantation in Mukkodli, held talks with him and condemned the Forest Department's action.
The Forest Department has suddenly attacked the land where Naniyyappa was farming and destroyed the plantation. It is not right that Naniyyappa has now been issued a notice to face an investigation. If it is a land belonging to the forest, the records should have been checked first. The sudden destruction of plants is condemnable. Manu Somayya questioned under which law this system is.
The officials who should have taken action under the law have behaved inhumanly. Such officials are not suitable to be in the Forest Department. CCF should not do the job of bearing the losses. The Forest Department should provide the plants and pay the salaries of the workers. He warned that a fierce struggle would be launched if compensation was not provided.
Farmers' union leaders were present on the occasion.
