Call to postpone public hearing on GIFT City
The Hindu
It will amount to COVID-protocol violation, say Ayyampuzha residents
The residents of Ayyampuzha, where the proposed Global Industrial Finance and Trade (GIFT) City is slated to come up on around 500 acres, have appealed to the government not to hold a public hearing on various issues on April 30, as proposed earlier, in the backdrop of the rising COVID-19 cases. A public hearing has been convened at the Ayyampuzha panchayat hall, said a spokesman for Janakiya Munneta Samiti, which is opposing the project for various reasons. According to the Samiti, the public hearing is being opposed because hundreds of people from the panchayat will have to congregate in a small space.More Related News
