As Devikulam sub-collector Sriram Venkitaraman continues to wage a lone war against the encroachments in Munnar, braving strong political opposition, a Facebook post one of his friends posted on his Timeline has come into the limelight.
The post by Fazal Rahman, who was Sriram’s batchmate when he was an MBBS student at the Thiruvananthapuram medical college, lists 10 commandments for the young IAS officer to abide by. The commandments are often sarcastic, reflect the frustrations of the general public who support him and also takes a dig at state's senior political figures who have been trying to hamper Sriram's eviction drive.
Sriram found himself in the black books of both local and state-level political leaders after he took on encroachers in Munnar. His decision to demolish a cross at Pappathichola, which was in encroached land, invited the wrath of several CPM leaders, including CM Pinarayi Vijayan.
Let's check out some of the commandments listed out by Fazal here.
