Greens demand steps to protect Thusharagiri
The Hindu
They allege bid by Forest officials to help landowners
A collective of environmentalists from across the State has appealed to the government to take steps to protect the Thusharagiri forest in Kozhikode district at any cost. In a memorandum signed by over 60 activists representing various organisations as well as independent activists, they accused Forest officials of maintaining a lackadaisical attitude with regard to the 24 acres of forest land that should be returned to the original owners on the basis of a recent Supreme Court order. Citing the importance of the three waterfalls in nourishing the nearby land in the form of Chalippuzha, the forum pointed out that the Forest Department had made no efforts to bring it before the Supreme Court during the hearing of the two-decades-old case.More Related News
