Summary:
The Collector had assured the court that the district administration would take all steps to preserve the green cover. Vinay and his team removed encroachments in Neelamalaikottai and ensured that the green cover was maintained by sowing palm seeds here on Tuesday. The district administration swung into action and removed encroachments. It paved the way for more lands to be brought under cultivation as bushes which blocked free flow of water into water bodies were cleared. When there was a persistent demand from ryots to remove encroachments, a team was deployed to survey the area..
