THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The government’s stand is to implement the Kasturirangan report keeping apart the Gadgil committee report in connection with the protection of the Western Ghats after holding talks with everybody and remove the anxiety from the minds of the people, said Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
Chandy said the draft notification has not been released yet. The states opinion will also be heard. In this situation, why is the LDF observing this hartal, asked Chandy? The state has lost Rs 900 crore in this hartal.
Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan had earlier demanded to implement the Madhav Gadgil Report. He was the only one political leader who raised the demand and now the hartal is observed with his support, blamed Chandy.
The CPM had earlier favoured the Kasturirangan report. CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan had earlier supported the report at an all-party meeting.
The government’s policy is to protect people’s demands along with the protection of the environment. Any condition which is anti-people will not be allowed to be implemented. The directive to separate ecologically sensitive and non-sensitive in villages will be proposed. The Malayalam version of the notification will be made available in all villages, he said
