Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 30 (UNI) Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly Oommen Chandy today called on Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan and urged him to take necessary measures to find an amicable solution to the year-long Chengara land struggle.

Talking to newspersons here after visiting the Chief Minister, he said this was his third meeting in this regard and he had offered some suggestions to find a solution to end the struggle.
