Revenue Minister K.K.S.S.R. Ramachandran on Tuesday said action will be taken in cases where government lands were being taken over illegally through forged documents, especially in areas around Chennai city.
DMK legislator S.R. Raja (Tambaram) raised the issue during Question Hour in the Assembly. He said government lands were being illegally occupied by unauthorised persons, and sought action in this regard.
He said some private educational institutions had occupied government lands by “forging” documents.
In his reply, Mr. Ramachandran said that land illegally held by a private educational institution was retrieved by the government recently, and that the government would act if such cases were brought to its notice.
