Mysore/Mysuru: The Codava National Council (CNC) has urgently called upon the authorities to halt the development of sprawling villas, townships and residential plots by converting 2,400 acres of coffee estate with huge trees and green cover in the Cauvery catchment area of Siddapur in Kodagu.
Expressing concern in a memorandum to the President, Prime Minister, Chief Minister and Secretary of the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests, CNC President N.U. Nachappa highlighted the acquisition of coffee estate at a significantly low cost, followed by plans to transform the land into residential areas. This move has garnered considerable interest from investors and settlers from outside the region.
