Kerala accused of encroaching on Tamil Nadu land
THENI (TAMIL NADU): Yet another inter-state dispute involving Tamil Nadu and Kerala appears to be brewing with local body officials and erstwhile landlords of three villages in this district accusing Kerala of 'encroaching' a holy site and converting it into a tourist spot.
The Kerala Tourism department had installed a 50-feet tall statue of "Adhivasis" (tribal couple with a baby) at the site and was also collecting money from tourists for visiting the place, said Appaji Rajkumar, erstwhile landlord (Zamindar) of Kombai.
