Demolition drive to cover whole of Kerala: CM

Palakkad, May 21: The demolition drive against encroachers in Munnar will be carried out in other parts of Kerala also to clear all encroachments, Chief Minister V S Achutanandan said today.

The fight against ''encroachment mafia'' would go on, he said at the inauguration of Kallanchira Drinking water scheme here.

''No one will be allowed to exploit nature,'' he said.

At an another function, Mr Achutanandan asked the Local Bodies to effectively implement the developments projects.

It was not lack of funds that the Local Bodies faced, but the major hurdle was that most of the projects were not completed in the prescribed time frame, he said.
