Tappal Ekambaram challenged the official communication that the inter-state boundary was approved by the Supreme Court and a process of demarcation was being done.
The demarcation of the inter-state border between Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh in the Bellary Reserve Forest has not yet been challenged in the Supreme Court by the petitioner Tapal Ekambaram.
The exercise was completed on the ground by survey officials in the presence of officials of the Revenue and State Survey, Mining and Geology as well as Forest Department in the last six months.
During the last month, a drone was flown to acquire the geo-coordinates of 72 newly demarcated and installed boundary stones and the process of digitization was underway.
On Tuesday, Mr. Ekambaram, one of the petitioners in the Supreme Court on behalf of the mining lease holders in that area, wrote a letter to the Survey of India, challenging the official communication from Deputy Director Pradeep Singh on Monday. The inter-state boundary was approved by the Supreme Court and a process of demarcation was being done. Shri Ekambaram was a petitioner in the Supreme Court on the issue WP: 562-2009.
Mr. Ekambaram has stated that the tri-junction point, which had been erupted in the past, has been replaced from its original location in the current demarcation process and instead of being at the highest point of a hill, it has gone into the valley On the ‘Chicken Neck’ part of the map. He said that with a drone of Tumati, Sidapura, Vittalapuram, and Malapangudi and a map of the existing village, the Contestants should have followed, but on the ground, it had gone astray.
“Inter-state boundaries cannot be different from pre-Independence village boundaries and maps on both sides – Andhra and Karnataka” would be the triangular junction tally referred to RMK2 / 35 Geo.
