In yet another case of the O’Valley town panchayat attempting to violate Supreme Court orders which prohibit building infrastructure to benefit non-Adivasi residents, attempts were made early on Monday (November 27, 2023) morning by the panchayat to begin construction of a road between J.J. Nagar and Anna Nagar.
The project, which has been sanctioned at a cost of ₹3.14 crores will benefit 10 small settlements in O’Valley, mostly inhabited by encroachers and settlers from Kerala, allege local activists who raised the issue with the district administration.
