All Kerala River Protection Committee to move court
The All Kerala River Protection Committee is planning public protests at Thusharagiri if the State government does not take steps to protect the disputed land there. Committee general secretary T.V. Rajan said the first such protest involving environmental activists from all over the State would be held in the second week of September. Activist Medha Padkar was expected to take part in it, he added. “We have documented proof that the State conceded defeat in several aspects of the case in the Supreme Court and that some of the arguments of the State were wrong, which resulted in the case going in favour of the earlier landowners,” said Mr. Rajan, adding that the committee was planning to approach the court on its own, since the government was not keen on doing it.More Related News
