    Munnar, Kerala[edit]

    The Kerala Government filed an affidavit in the high court alleging that Tata Tea had "grabbed"
    forest land of 3,000 acres (12 km2) at Munnar. The Tatas provided that they possessed
    58,741.82 acres (237.7197 km2) of land, which they are allowed to retain under the Kannan
    Devan Hill (Resumption of Lands) Act, 1971, and there was a shortage of 278.23 hectares
    (2.7823 km2) in that. The Chief Minister of Kerala V.S. Achuthanandan, who vowed to evict all on
    government land in Munnar, formed a special squad for the Munnar land takeover mission and
    started acquiring back properties. However, the mission was aborted due to both influential land-
    holders and opposition from Achuthanandan's own party. [31]
