Land purchase problems

The ownership of a recently bought eight-acre plot of land on the tar road between Certitude and Edayanachavady, for which negotiations have been going on for almost three years, is in dispute and Auroville has been denied possession of the land. The negotiations involved ten different owners, and a family member of one of the parties now claims ownership. The Land Board informed the community that it is confident that it will regain possession of the land as the person has not produced any valid claim and only used threats and violence to take possession of the land.
