TIRUPUR: Nearly 5,000 residents and cadre of Communist Party of India (CPI) staged a demonstration in front of the Tirupur Municipal office here on Thursday urging the Government to provide house site pattas.
K. Subbarayan, Member of Parliament, Coimbatore Lok Sabha Constituency, presided over the agitation. He urged the Government to acquire private lands around Tirupur to create housing colonies for migrant workforce.
Pitiable life
“Thousands of poor migrant workers leading a pitiable life on the banks of Noyyal and near the drainages across the town. They do not have proper shelters. Many of the workers are rushing to factories to attend to their call of nature as their huts do not have toilets,” Mr. Subbarayan said.
The Schedule Caste and Backward Classes departments have enough resources to acquire private lands. He said that the Tamil Nadu Government should give free house site pattas to the migrant workers considering the high cost of land in Tirupur.
The protesters demanded pattas for those who have been residing in Government poramboke lands for over 10 years. They also wanted that the Government to give free house site pattas. Mr. Subbarayan said that the Government authorities had been denying pattas to the residents after residing nearly 20 years citing land classification.
He wanted that the authorities should give pattas irrespective of poramboke lands they reside.
The MP said that the Tamil Nadu Government must ensure distribution of pattas in 30 days after receiving applications.
