Madurai: A preliminary inquiry by city civic officials has found encroachment of government land by an IT park here in which Union Minister M K Alagiri`s family members are directors, officials said on Tuesday.
The officials have commenced their inquiry into the alleged encroachment of cartroad and government wet land by the Daya Cyber Park on a direction from District Collector U Sagayam.
Initial comparison with government records showed that encroachment had been made by both Daya Cyber Park and a neighbouring building, they said. Encroachment had been found in two survey numbers to the extent of around 5.5 cents (one cent is around 400 sq feet) and 1.5 cents respectively by the Cyber park and neighbouring building.
The report would be sent to the collector after direct field inspection of the buildings, they said. The Collector has recently written to the Corporation Commissioner directing him to enquire into allegations of encroachment and take action to remove them if those were found true.
