KRISHNAGIRI: About 75 people, including 30 women, from Gopasandiram village under the Gammonthotti Panchayat on Thursday urged Collector V.K. Shanmugam to save them from land grabbers.
A petition submitted to the Collector alleged that a group of people were threatening the villagers for the past four years to grab their agriculture and residential properties.
Weapons used
The petition signed by 179 people alleged that the villagers who resisted their attempts were attacked by the gang with weapons.
They also alleged that the land and houses of many people in the village were grabbed using forged documents.
The gang claimed that they had the support of revenue and police officials. Complaints to the Shoolagiri police, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Hosur and Superintendent of Police in Krishnagiri did not evoke any response, the villagers alleged. They urged the Collector to protect them from attacks of the land grabbers.
