Vinod K. Agrawal, IAS. Office of the

Commissioner. Commissioner of Tribal Welfare

Government of Andhra Pradesh.

D.O.Lr.No.TRI/LTR/1450/01, Dt: 5-1-02.

It has been represented to me that the chenchu tribals have been prevented from dropping fish seed in Rasul Cheruvu situated in the scheduled area of your district by one Fisherman Cooperative Society of Kondanagula.

I wish to draw your attention towards the provisions of A.P.S.A.L.T.R. which specifically prohibit any transfer of interest on any immovable property or its usufructs to the non tribals in the scheduled areas. This provision also applies to the government land and tanks in the scheduled areas and as such giving any right to any Fishermen Cooperative Society, not fully consisting of tribals, will be violative of the LTR.

I request you to please get the matter looked into immediately and restore the right to the tribal over the said Rasul Cheruvu.

Yours sincerely,

Sd/-
