Chandy asked to rework land-use plan [1]

Says government move will lead to misuse and diversion of the land

Congress leader V.M. Sudheeran has written to Chief Minister Oommen Chandy criticising the government move to allow use of 5 per cent of plantation land for tourism purposes and to classify cashew cultivation areas as plantations. In his letter, released here on Sunday, Mr. Sudheeran said the decision would have serious consequences for the State, the people, and the environment.
