The President of Mayyanad Sangamam D.Jayachandran participated in the dharna organized jointly by the Mayyanad Janasakthi, Mayyanad Elders' Forum, Help Foundation and Umayanalloor Paddy Growers Association. They were protesting the inept handling by corrupt Panchayat officials of a once verdant land. Of the144acre paddy field 24 acre has already been earth filled by land grabbers. Of the 1596 wells only a few now has water in it. Most of the ponds have dried up. Ground water is fast depleting. Farmers are not given any kind of assistance in paddy cultivation. An unauthorised water bottling plant is being run right on the side of the paddy fields with the connivance of higher officials who are least concerned about the issues that affect the life of ordinary people. The protest was widely covered by the media, that the next day the district collector made a tour of the affected places and ordered remedial measures to be put in place as early as possible.
