Boy keeps petitioning Collector to clear encroachments

The Class 8 student Navaneethakrishnan, who had petitioned the Collector TN Hariharan thrice earlier, told reporters here that he had submitted a memorandum to the district administration in this connection.

A student of the government high school, Navaneethakrishnan said he had sought action against those who had allegedly encroached upon the pathway and started constructing a building thereby blocking access to his house.

Moreover, he alleged that some people had disconnected power supply to his house to harass him and his family members. Despite the earlier petitions, the authorities had failed to take action, he alleged. His parents had also lodged a complaint with the police, but to no avail.
