A slight delay in initiating action could have costed the state owned Tamil Nadu Co-Operative Milk Producers’ Federation Ltd, known as Aavin, very dearly in losing its prime land adjoining its Madavaram dairy here to land sharks.

The swift action against encroachers on Saturday evening has helped the Aavin to get back its 1.20 acre land worth Rs20 crore.

“Acting on information that the land grabbers were attempting to sell the piece of land after demarcating the boundaries, the Aavin authorities swung into action and evicted the encroachers. We bulldozed the makeshift structures and leveled the ground,” an official said on Sunday.

Had the federation caused further delay it would lost its property. “We finally took possession after the district administration had surveyed the land and identified that the patch of plot on no. 991 \ 1 belonged to Aavin,” he added.

Recently, the Aavin had granted space to lay a road near its dairy and had not fenced the area. This had given room to occupying the land, it was pointed out.

On Sunday, the authorities have erected fence around the priced land and established a parlour. “Much to our pleasant surprise we have sold Rs4,000 worth products including ghee, on day one. This is very encouraging. We hope to do brisk business in the coming days,” the official expressed. This is the 65th parlour out of 100 parlours proposed to be established in the city.

Only recently, the Aavin had launched mobile parlours to cater to the requirement of the consumers in the outskirts of the city.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
