Contravening the rules of the Tamil Nadu Preservation of Private Forests (TNPPF) Act, the owners of resorts whose buildings were sealed by the district administration have begun cultivating their lands along the notified elephant corridor in Bokkapuram in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) buffer zone.
Local Adivasi residents in Bokkapuram alleged that the resort owners had felled bamboo and other trees from their lands and have started tilling the soil.
