Activists say no to proposed Coastal Zone Management

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The National Campaign against the Coastal Zone Management notification, a group of activists from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh, have ‘rejected’ the proposed Coastal Zone Management (CZM) notification being finalised by the Centre and stressed on the need to strengthen the existing Coastal Regulation Zone by making relevant amendments.

Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, the National Campaign activists said they had met Defence Minister A.K. Antony and Members of Parliament of their respective States in this connection and impressed upon them the need to ensure that the proposed notification was not finalised as it would deprive the traditional coastal communities of their livelihoods and render them homeless.

The National Campaign fears that under the proposed new notification would take away the special identity enjoyed by the coastal villages by clubbing this area with the developed region.
