Sastra seeks time to vacate buildings

THANJAVUR, OCTOBER 04, 2018 00:00 IST


‘Relocating hostel students difficult’

The Sastra Deemed University on Wednesday is learnt to have sought more time from the Revenue authorities to vacate the buildings that had been constructed on encroached land.

As a follow-up to an eviction notice served last week to vacate the buildings by October 3, the Thanjavur Tahsildar visited the institution along with a posse of police personnel on Wednesday to take possession of the buildings constructed on land belonging to the Prison Department. The institution is understood to have cited difficulties in relocating hostel students in some of these buildings at short notice.

Following a direction of the Madras High Court, the Thanjavur Collector had passed orders on September 22 instructing the Revenue Divisional Officer and the Tahsildhar to remove the encroachments immediately.

Protective fence

In its order, the Madras High Court directed the Deputy-Inspector General of Prisons, Tiruchi, to raise a fence and protect the land by providing round-the-clock security.

A comprehensive survey would be undertaken before taking possession of the land once the institution vacated the buildings, a senior Revenue Department official said.
