God is the only power in spite of all the great position, power, rowdyism, manpower, money power, and power power. Ramesh has proved it in the case. In two lakes spread over 300 acres in Ordinary Vidayur village, Karuvela tree worth Rs 5 crore was auctioned for just Rs 50,000. For more than two years, around 50 families cut down the tree every day and the charcoal went to charcoal merchants. The auction money doesn’t even come for a day’s cut. When I told an officer about it, he laughed. If so, to what extent has the law been deceived?
What was the political support behind this? Ramesh believed that money could achieve everything.
Nature will punish whoever it is. No matter how great you are, you cannot escape its punishment. That’s what Ramesh is experiencing now. Because even those of us who run a newspaper cannot tolerate the corruption that took place in this village. Not acceptable.
The tree was auctioned by the panchayat president Elumalai and the administrators in the village, where the panchayat president and some others auctioned the tree for 60 lakhs and cheated the money without accounting in the village. If asked, whoever asks, they will fight over them. Hearing this, some people filed a false case in the police station and put them inside.
What it is is, they are all between the ages of 16 and 20. They don’t know what to say. They went to the village and asked the leader Ezhumalai. They argued that there was no correct answer and they were remanded at the Compendant police station. Who is to blame for all this trouble? That’s Ramesh. In the town, there is a conflict, fight, gossip, lawsuit, the result of so much that a power called God has given the right punishment.
Who took this bid? Ganesan is the leader’s uncle. Complaints in this regard were sent to the district collector from various quarters in the village. The then District Collector John Varghese was sacked. No matter how many complaints were sent from anywhere, it all fell in the garbage. Well, if this is the case, we gave it to the Anti-Corruption Department. Tree felling was stopped for two months after the Anti-Corruption Department took action. Then they made up for that too.
After that, the case went up to the High Court. There too, they are making fake documents and giving them a dub. Wherever we complain, money is at play. At one stage, the panchayat president Elumalai, Ganesan and Ramesh could not escape from the law. They saw that we had no choice, they said, falling at the feet of the leader’s uncle’s son and stopping it.
For this, our hard work, money, everything is wasted, time is wasted, this is a secret fact known to the officials of the Tiruvallur Water Resources Department. What do they do? My advocate Muthusamy took up the case. Whatever he had to do according to his conscience, he did for us. He was a good social activist and eventually the problem came down to one community and relationship, so it stopped.
But Ramesh is the reason for all this problem. Ramesh was not an official but a politician. He has played that the strength of the caste party is behind him, even if it is done to good people, that help will be useful to you somewhere. But for whatever they do, whoever they do will reap the rewards. That is what happened to engineer Ramesh. How much game? It is said that one day God will pay for all this. It is definitely paid in Ramesh’s life.
The money of Vidayur village, which came at the crossroads, was turned into millions. As if that wasn’t enough, he went to a farmer and took a bribe of Rs 7,000. The people of Vidayur village should thank God. It is because of such officials that these panchayat leaders are playing the game. They have said that we are the law in the town with them in their hands. Now this Vidayur village is spitting. The situation of those who live without a conscience is the same for a day.
