TNTJ’s plea to stop handing over of public land to individual for commercial purposes
The Tamil Nadu Thowheedh Jamaath has petitioned the Tirunelveli Collector to prevent the commercial leasing of a public playground in Melapalayam. Additionally, local farmers are requesting the installation of a shutter in the 54th sluice of the Tirunelveli Channel to support agricultural operations.
Why it matters
These petitions reflect local community efforts to preserve public infrastructure and ensure agricultural viability against administrative inaction.
The Tamil Nadu Thowheedh Jamaath (TNTJ) has appealed to Collector Anand Mohan to stop attempts to handover public land in Melapalayam, which is being used as playground by locals, to an individual for commercial purposes.
In his petition, TNTJ district president Masood said that vacant land of Tirunelveli Corporation at Melapalayam was being used by locals, particularly students and other youth, as playground for the past several years. Instead of getting distracted by social media and other evils of modern society, the youth spent their evenings in a healthy way by playing football, volleyball and kabaddi on the ground.
