The certification of #palmoil is considered to be a con by @GreenpeaceUK as it doesn't stop #ecocide #deforestation. Certified "sustainable" #palmoil doesn't exist #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

There was an attempt to survey 40 acres of public land in Mirusuvil, Asaipillai (which falls under the grama sevakar division of Thenmaradchi-Eluthumattuval) starting at 9 am today in order to seize the land later and establish a training camp for the 52nd Army Brigade.
The land surveying process was initiated by the Land Survey Department.
The landowners, politicians and social activists who went to the area earlier than 9 am expected this acquisition attempted to protest against this.

@BlrCityPolice @DCPEASTBCP @AddlCPEast We have filed a FIR and have taken Injunction order from the court. Yet the circle inspector (Vasan Kumar) of @Hennurps Is being numb on the situation
@BlrCityPolice @DCPEASTBCP @AddlCPEast @Hennurps Property Video as on 25.11.2020 when we reached @Hennurps taking up the issue.
@BlrCityPolice @DCPEASTBCP @AddlCPEast @Hennurps @Hennurps refused to file an FIR on the culprit and made us to take rounds of police station unnecessarily.
