Days after the Actor Prakash Raj started controversy with his unwanted post on the Chandrayaan-3, the Singham actor has once again landed in another problem. This time he is back in the news for alleged illegal construction of his bungalow in the hill station of Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu.
This news came to light after some social media users threw light on it. As per the reports during the Farmer’s Grievance Meeting, villagers raised a complaint that Prakash Raj is illegally constructing luxury bungalows in violation of government norms and encroaching on government lands in villages around Kodaikanal.
Apart from this, there is an allegation that Prakash Raj built a road for his private bungalow by encroaching on the common dirt road used by the villagers there. Villagers have complained that he encroached on the forest department’s land and constructed his road in the Pethuparai area. It is alleged that a board stating that it was not a public road prohibiting entry of public vehicles had been placed there. It is also said that the board was removed following a public uproar.
One of the villagers said, “A public road has been converted to a cement road by actor Prakash Raj and has been prohibited for use by the villagers, he had put aboard as well. The board was removed after we protested.”
Addressing the Farmers Grievance Meeting in Kodaikanal, farmers expressed their concerns regarding the lack of permission from the forest department and the district administration to use JCB machines for their agricultural activities. They also raised a pertinent question regarding why actor Prakash Raj had been granted permission to utilise heavy vehicles for the past 25 days.
Additionally, there have been allegations that the actor Bobby Simha was encroaching on government land and constructing a three-story luxury bungalow on it. Residents expressed their frustration and raised questions about how the forest department granted permission for such construction. They also called for measures to safeguard government-owned land.
