The government that has initiated resumption of the lands allegedly in the illegal possession of Harrisons Malayalam Ltd, will serve notice on the company in two weeks’ time for the final takeover of the lands. The special team constituted to resume the lands under the HML’s illegal possession, has completed 95 per cent inspection of the estates in four districts. It is the lands in Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Kottayam and Idukki districts that the special team headed by special officer M G Rajamanickam are surveying as part of document 1600/1923 which was alleged to be forged. The special officer was appointed based on the High Court judgment which had permitted the government to reclaim the lands which are allegedly in illegal possession of HML, by implementing the provisions of the Land Conservancy Act.
