As the Kerala Cabinet met on Wednesday, one of the key decisions taken was to transfer Devikulam sub-Collector Sriram Venkitaraman, a 2013 batch IAS officer who has been spearheading an eviction drive in Munnar. The ostensible reason was that Sriram had already completed 4 years in service and he deserved to be promoted. The action has stunned political observers and the public alike for the timing of the decision, especially coming a day after a Kerala High Court decision vindicated the officer’s stand.
The crux of the matter goes back a month even though the officer has been in the bad books of the local Communist Party of India (Marxist) ever since he dared to act against illegal occupations and land encroachments in Munnar town and nearby areas.
Power Minister MM Mani, who has served as the CPI(M) district secretary for more than quarter of a century, had been going around abusing the officer and even went to the extent of saying Sriram be sent to a mental asylum. Local MLA S Rajendran has been similarly engaged in a vilification campaign against the upright officer for sticking to the rulebook. Sriram managed to antagonise the Chief Minister himself when he decided to go ahead with the demolition of a cross on encroached land without waiting for Pinarayi’s sanction.
On June 9, the state Revenue department issued an eviction notice to VV George, a local Congress leader, to vacate his illegally occupied 22 cents of land from where he ran the Lovedale resort. This was after the Revenue department realised that George had grabbed government ‘Poramboke’ land originally leased out by the state in 1986 to a Thomas Michael for a period of three years. Though George approached the District Collector the next day, he got no relief as the Collector didn’t have any mandate. Along with a writ petition in the Kerala High Court, George managed to get local leaders of all the parties in Munnar including Power Minister MM Mani to take his case to the Chief Minister
