They were given patta for homesteads in the reserve in November
The Revenue Department and the Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department are making efforts to provide free housing for Kadar tribe families that were given patta for homesteads in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) in November.
A senior official from the Revenue Department told The Hindu the free housing would be offered through a scheme of the Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department.
There is no problem in building concrete houses inside the tiger reserve under the scheme as the families own patta given by the State government, said the official.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
