Don’t use land taken from Aalavandar Trust against what it was intended for in his Will: Ramadoss

PMK founder S. Ramadoss on Sunday wrote to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin urging him to offer an equal extent of land as a compensation to the Arulmigu Aayiram Kani Aalavandar Naicker Trust, from which lands had been taken over for implementing drinking water projects, including a desalination plant.

He said that Aalavandar Naicker had given lands to the Vanniyars for the purposes of education and development of the community. “The State government should stop unilaterally taking over the Trust’s lands. The lands that have been taken over should be compensated for by the government,” he said.

According to him, 1,550 acres were given away for spiritual reasons, and the Trust had around 1,054 acres of land.
