Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday urged Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to “stop creating confusion” over the issue. Gandhi warned he would ‘resist’ any of the state government’s attempts to include the inhabited areas in the ESZ.
Addressing a rally here against the implementation of the apex court verdict to create a one-kilometre ESZ around all wildlife sanctuaries and national parks, the Wayanad MP said he was requesting the Vijayan government to resolve the issue that had been created by themselves.
Gandhi said when he had urged the Union Environment Ministry to consider the concerns of the people of high range Wayand, which would be largely affected by its implementation, he was informed that the zone was demarcated as per the proposal sent by the LDF government in 2019.
