The Tamizhaga Veettu Vasathi Variya Orunkinaintha Othukeetalargal Nala sangham has decided to launch a series of agitations, including observance of a fast if its 21 demands were not met within a month.
A release from the sangham here has said that resolutions to this effect were passed at its general body meeting on October 2.
The demands included taking of steps to resolve all land acquisition cases pending before various courts. It appealed to the Housing Minister, I. Periyasamy, to instruct the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to desist from the practice of citing land acquisition cases as a reason for not giving sale deeds to allottees whose lands were not involved in any dispute.
Sale deeds should be given as the lease cum sale agreement. The association said that the allottees never demanded concessions or waiver in the cost of the properties given to them. They were ready to pay the cost agreed up on in the lease cum sale agreement.
The association objected to the practice of imposing additional interest, penal interest and capitalisation of the interests.
These overheads and increase in the cost of properties were primarily due to the lethargy of the board, administrative lapses and the board was trying to camouflage its failures by passing the burden onto the allottees.
The penal interests for the interests arising out of the land acquisition cases and the failure of the board to resolve these cases on time should be waived for the alllottees.
The Board should immediately stop the practice of going on appeals against the rulings of the Supreme Court and the Madras High Court. It should comply with the court directives in giving away the sale deeds to those who had completed payment.
