Govt puts aside Master plan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The government has frozen the steps to acquire land according to the State capital’s new master plan.

People had been agitating against the plan that requires evacuation of human settlements in large areas in places like Kattayikkolam, Chanthavila, and Mangattukonam.

The cabinet had earlier decided to cancel the master plan.

Meanwhile, the LDF has called off the proposed relay satyagraha demanding cancellation of the master plan and preparation of a new master plan with the help of expert opinion.
