Somwarpet, Dec. 11: Raitha Horata Samiti has demanded that the Forest and Revenue Department should not survey the farmers' lands until the report of the special committee formed by the government to conduct a study of the situation and submit a report on the problems that have arisen in the process of converting C and D land cultivated by farmers into forest is submitted.The Tahsildar has issued an official letter fixing the date for conducting the joint survey of deemed forest in Bettadalli village under Shantalli hobli of Somwarpet taluk on Ta. 16 and in Kumaralli village on Ta. 17, to which Raitha Horata Samiti President Chakravarthy Suresh has expressed opposition.Ta. On 16th and 17th, Taluk Tahsildar K.K. Krishnamurthy has sent an official letter to the T.P. Executive Officer, Assistant Conservator of Forests, Zonal Forest Officer, Assistant Director of Land Records, Deputy Tahsildar of Shantalli Hobli, Revenue Inspector, and President of Raitha Horata Samiti Suresh Chakravarthy to take action for the survey of deemed forest identification in Bettadalli and Kumaralli villages under Bettadalli Gram Panchayat limits on 4th and 5th page.A date has been fixed for the joint survey work, and the Gram Panchayat Development Officer has been instructed to take action to provide more information to the villagers and publicize this locally through loudspeakers.The Raitha Horata Samiti has objected to this action and has warned that if the authorities proceed with the survey work, they will face severe resistance from the farmers.For the past one and a half years, the Raitha Horata Samiti, in collaboration with the Raitha Sangha, has been drawing the attention of the government by holding protests, dharnas and bandhs involving thousands of farmers to resolve the C and D land issue. Recently, the government has paid attention to the C and D land issue and has practically formed a special committee in Kodagu district and ordered it to submit a factual report.A committee comprising a retired IAS officer, an additional advocate general, a retired DCF, and a retired Tahsildar has been formed. This committee has to study the factual situation related to C and D land in Kodagu and submit a compliance report to the government with recommendations on resolving the issues that have arisen. Suresh Chakraborty has demanded that other departments should not proceed with any survey work until this committee completes the process.A request has been made to the Taluk Tahsildar regarding this and attention has been drawn to the fact that the survey work should not be carried out for any reason. Along with this, we have also demanded that the Forest Department should not be allowed to conduct a separate survey. If the survey is carried out before the compliance report of the special committee, there will be severe resistance from the farmers, said Suresh Chakravarthy, President of the Farmers' Struggle Committee, with 'Shakti'.
