Coimbatore Corporation faces criticism for alleged delays in reclaiming Open Space Reservation (OSR) land. Social activist S.P. Thiyagarajan claims a 13-cent OSR land parcel, valued at ₹3.5 crore, remains encroached despite a recent Madras High Court dismissal of the encroacher's petition. He alleges political intervention halted demolition efforts, urging the Corporation to expedite the reclamation process for the public park land.
