Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Tuesday disagreed with the demand made by the Kerala Congress(M) and others for cancellation of the order issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests on November 13 last year for protection of the Western Ghats.

Speaking to the media after a special meeting of the Cabinet, the Chief Minister said that annulment of the order would result in reinstatement of the recommendations of the Madhav Gadgil committee on the Western Ghats.
