Tirupur: The rural police have registered more than 30 cases in opposition to farmers for tapping toddy illegally at Palladam and Mangalam areas right here in past few days.
The state government had just lately lifted the ban on neera (candy toddy) tapping, but many farmers in the district are all in favour of toddy tapping, which is totally banned, the police mentioned.
Based on a tip, the police searched Therkupalayam and Kavundampalayam areas near Palladam and found that unlawful toddy tapping used to be rampant. They also seized pots and ladders used for the purpose.
“The police have destroyed many pots. We have met Palladam MLA A Natarajan and instructed him to offer protection to the farmers and make allowance toddy tapping,” mentioned Okay Thangavel of Katchi Sarbatra Vivasaigal Sangam.
The farmers, meanwhile, met the Kangeyam deputy superintendent of police, R Muthusamy, and requested him to go back the seized articles, but in vain.
The Kangeyam police have registered cases in opposition to 29 farmers, while the Mangalam police have booked seven others for the unlawful toddy tapping.
