Jayalitha's Ooty estate under Govt's eagle eye
An official team, which attempted to check the Kodanadu estate bungalow near Kothagiri in Nilgiris district, reportedly belonging to former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, for alleged building violations, was denied entry by scores of AIADMK workers.The official team, led by Nilgiris district Sub-Collector Samayamurthy and District Revenue Officer Rajkumar, was sent back in the morning by the large number of party cadres present there, seeking a copy of the official order. When the team went back to the 900-acre estate, armed with the order, the activists, led by former Minister A Miller, denied them entry in the absence of an official surveyor.As the party workers were present in large numbers, the team returned without any objection.The team was expected to make an attempt tomorrow also. The move followed a complaint lodged by Kothagiri Panchayat President Raju that the bungalow had been constructed violating Government rules and regulations. An official team had infact tried to check the plan a few days ago, but without any luck as Ms Jayalalithaa was in the bungalow at that time.
