Devadasan said that rampant urbanisation and development projects should not be at the cost of destruction of the environment. In such a context, the government should implement the recommendations of the Gadgil Committee on protection of the Western Ghats. Copies of the memorandum were also submitted to Revenue Minister K. Rajan, Electricity Minister K. Krishnankutty, and Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran. Stringent laws should be enacted to stop unrestricted mining and reclamation of paddy fields and water bodies, they said.
