Tsou Aborigines from Laiji Village (來吉) in Alishan Township (阿里山), Chiayi County, yesterday petitioned the Control Yuan, protesting the county government’s long delay in granting permission for villagers to be resettled on government-owned land after their village was devastated by Typhoon Morakot in 2009.
