Probe sought into secrecy surrounding Assembly panel’s Aralam farm visit

Adivasi Dalit Munnetta Samithi president Sreeraman Koyyon has sought an inquiry into alleged secrecy surrounding an Assembly panel’s visit to Aralam farm, according to The Hindu. Koyyon alleged that the decision to keep the visit secret was intended to prevent discussion of corruption in the tribal rehabilitation area. He referred to alleged wrongdoing over the past decade, but the supplied material does not set out specific allegations, names or financial details.

The report does not explain when the Assembly panel visited Aralam farm, which legislators were members of it or why information about the visit was allegedly withheld. It also provides no response from the panel, government authorities or anyone accused of wrongdoing. The demand is therefore based on Koyyon’s allegation and call for a probe.

The available material does not establish that corruption occurred or that secrecy was deliberately used for the purpose he described. It only records his stated concern about the visit and the rehabilitation area.
