Raita Sangha's rally for houses passes through Mangalore

May 4, 2012

Mangalore, May 4: A rally of the Karnataka Pranta Raita Sangha (KPRS) demanding houses and land for the needy, reached this coastal city on Thursday.

The rally, which commenced from from Shimoga on April 27, was one among the four rallies being simultaneously taken out by the organisation throughout the State. All the rallies will culminate in Bangalore on May 21, where a massive protest is planned.

“We want to pressure the State Government to allot houses and land for the poor. We want the Land Reforms Act to be implemented in true spirit in the State,” said K.R. Sreyan, president of the KPRS Dakshina Kannada district unit.

Addressing a gathering near the office of the Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Sreyan said the State Government had been offering land for the corporates to set up their units while it was deferring allotment of land for agricultural workers.

“The Government has to be committed towards providing houses and land for the poor. We have to force the State government to take action,” he said.

Mr. Sreyan said with the rise in the price of land, it had become difficult for the poor to own a house. The State Government had been delaying the allotment of sites for the needy. As many as 15,000 applications for allotment of houses were pending in Dakshina Kannada alone. The Government had not been issuing title deeds to people living on government land for years. The State Government had not taken action on the direction of the Centre to allow tribal people to register their names regarding forestland in their possession.

KPRS Dakshina Kannada unit's general secretary K. Yadav Shetty said the State Government was not clearly stating whether they intended to allot sites and land for the poor. Advocate Yeshwant Maroli addressed the gathering.

The KPRS members then submitted a memorandum to the tahsildar Ravi Chandra Naik.
