Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to request him to address the concerns of those who are affected by the Supreme Court order on the maintenance of Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZ) around wildlife sanctuaries and national parks.
Sharing his letter to the Prime Minister on Facebook post, the Lok Sabha member from Wayanad said his letter seeks to draw attention to the plight of the people in his constituency because of the Supreme Court order and the 2011 norms of the Environment Ministry regarding Eco-Sensitive Zone (ESZ)
“The State and the Union Government can help by requesting dilution of a minimum width of an ESZ to the Central Empowered Committee (CEC) and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC). The Supreme Court judgment considers recommendations made by the CEC and the MoEF&CC,” he said in his post.
