Forest clearance sought for permanent facility to be constructed across 12 acres of kaadu poramboke land
The Kallakurichi district police department has proposed to set up a permanent shooting range in the Kalvarayan Hills reserve forest near Malliyampadi village, for which a formal application seeking forest clearance has been submitted.
The shooting range is proposed in 12 acres of land classified as 'kaadu poramboke'.
As per the documents accessed by TNIE, the project involves the development of a modern police shooting training facility in survey no. 259 of Malliyampadi village, Chinnasalem Block, within the forest division of Kalvarayan Hills.
The location has been specifically chosen due to its remote setting, minimal agricultural use, and natural terrain conducive to firearms training.
