Growing Demand for Legal Measures Against Outsider Land Purchases

Madikeri, June 30: Kodagu and Cauvery Conservation Forum convener retired Colonel C.P. Muthanna has demanded that the necessary law be implemented to prevent outsiders from buying land in Kodagu.

He was speaking at a press conference held at the city's Patrika Bhavan. Cases like Malma should not be repeated in Kodagu. Religious sentiments here should not be hurt. Outsiders may try to buy land in Kodagu in the future. Therefore, to prevent outsiders from buying land, a law should be implemented to prevent the sale of land to people who are not Jammas and do not belong to the local communities of Kodagu.

Such laws are in force in the northeastern states of India such as Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh and several districts of the Himalayan region and Uttarakhand, and Kodagu also needs such a law. In this regard, MLAs A.S. Ponnanna, Mantar Gowda and MP Yaduveer demanded that necessary action be taken.

He appealed to the real estate brokers in Kodagu not to encourage outsiders to buy land for high commissions until this law comes into force and to deal only with those who have a right to protect Kodagu and the Cauvery river and people of the local communities.

Kannikauvery Seva Trust Secretary Pucchimanda Appiah said that selling land in Kodagu to outsiders will damage the culture, customs and ideas here. He also said that the rise of huge buildings in the watershed areas will cause a shortage of rain and damage the environment.

Kannikauvery Seva Trust President C.K. Poovaiah, Malchira Shan Bopaiah, Roy Bopanna were present at the meeting.
