Keen to consolidate its support base, KC(M) to organise massive convention of settler farmers

Keen to consolidate its support base across Central Travancore ahead of the upcoming Parliament elections, the Kerala Congress (M) [KC(M)] is now raising the pitch for addressing the concerns of settler farmers.

As part of it, the regional party is organising a popular convention at Mundakkayam on Thursday to highlight the issues faced by the community. Plans are also afoot to submit a massive petition to the Union government demanding to amend the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.

According to Sebastian Kulathungal, a KC(M) legislator, the event aims at convincing the Union government on the need for legal reforms by considering that the population of wild animals in Kerala’s forest is five times higher than the actual carrying capacity.
