Its another classic case of land encroachment that is happening so widely in Coimbatore. This land was handed over to the builders by the Coimbatore Corporation as an open land reserve, but instead he violated that and built up some structures there. So obviously its strictly illegal. So naturally the corporation complained against this. As of now, a case of land encroachment has been registered against the Mint homes and its director Raj Natarajan. A part of it was demolished on 6th July.
Hey, you mean the Mint Homes controversy in Sowripalayam right? Yeah, from what I’ve heard the land was actually reserved for some other purposes, but the builder of this project just went ahead and constructed a swimming pool, a club house and a sewage treatment plant on these premises. I think a case was filed against the builder by the corporation with the city police, and the constructions are going to be demolished, I’m not sure exactly. Can someone verify?
