KANNUR
Environmentalists are up in arms against the government order allowing the felling of mangrove trees in the small patches (less than 5 square metres) of private land in the areas under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ).
They objected to the decision to reclassify pokkali and farmland near high tide lines from Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) 1(A) and 1(B) to CRZ (2) and (3).
