Plea to turn down law panel proposal
The Hindu
To hold referendum in parishes
All parishes under the Malankara Orthodox Syrian church on Sunday adopted a resolution urging the State Government to turn down the proposal by the Law Reforms Commission to hold referendum in parishes under the Malankara church.
The resolution, read out in the parishes, called for rejection without consideration the draft law that “aimed at overturning the Supreme Court ruling by upholding only the illegal and unilateral demands of the separatist faction.”
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
