Stakeholders to get more time to comment on draft
The Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP), which will define the scope and extent of development activities along the coastal belt of 10 districts in Kerala, may take a few more months to get into shape. While the deadline fixed for the stakeholder agencies, including the government departments, to comment on the draft plan expired on May 30, enough time will be provided for the interested individuals to suggest amendments to the document, according to Kerala Coastal Zone Management Authority (KCZMA) sources. The clarification attains significance in the wake of demands by various stakeholders, including fishermen, for more time to submit the comments. Several stakeholders had pointed out that plan documents could not be verified and suggestions submitted on account of the COVID-19 restrictions.
