Auction of Emu Birds in Coimbatore
The maintenance of emu birds, abandoned by the fraudsters in the contract farming scam, was a costly affair for the state government, revenue and police authorities will finally start auctioning off the birds tomorrow at the collectorate in Erode. About 651 birds will be up for auction on the first day.
The revenue from the auction will be deposited with the Coimbatore special court dealing with cases registered under the Tamil Nadu Protection of Interests of Depositors (in financial establishments) Act. More auctions will be held subsequently based on its approval. The court will return the money to the cheated investors, once the cases reach the final stage. According to revenue officials, 12,000 abandoned emus are now being fed by the revenue department.
