Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In the petition filed on Monday, the woman, Jayalakshmi, said her husband, Gunasekaran, had travelled to west Africa for work through a private export firm based in Perundurai, Erode. He passed away there in Nov 2017. While she received confirmation of his death and a death certificate, only a partial payment of Rs5.98 lakh, representing salary arrears, was sent to her, she said. She alleged that the insurance compensation and death benefits amounting to Rs7.50 lakh were fraudulently claimed by Thangamani from Kothamangalam and Manikandan from Mangudi. The duo, she said, took another woman and children to the company, falsely presenting them as Gunasekaran's family, and collected the insurance money in their name.

Plea to enact law preventing purchase of tribal land by others
The Tamil Nadu Tribal People's Association has urged the State government to enact a law preventing outsiders from purchasing land owned by tribal people. In a letter to the District Collector, association president V.P. Gunasekaran highlighted that indigenous tribal communities in the hilly regions of Erode district have been engaged in agriculture and have resided there for generations. However, there is a concerning trend of these communities becoming landless, which poses a significant threat to the stability and well-being of the hill regions. Citing the Constitution, which places the responsibility on State governments to protect the livelihood and land rights of tribal communities, the association requested that the Collector recommend to the State Government the introduction of a law—similar to those in other states—that bans the sale of tribal lands to outsiders, retrieves lands that have already been transferred, and reallocates them to tribal communities.
