The people in an around
Mookunnimala, who are on a relentless struggle against quarrying in the hill,
has decided to intensify their agitation and has chalked out various strategies
even as the agitation led by Mookunnimala Samara Samithi completed one month.
As many as 500 people,
including a large number of women participated in the meeting held on Tuesday.
In the meeting, the samithi had decided to intensify their agitation until the
closure of all quarries in the region. Apart from launching a protest in front
of the Pallichal panchayat office, they have decided to take the agitation to
the secretariat.
The Samithi leaders said that
they have decided to conduct a social auditing of the quarries. '' The people
will be given awareness classes with regard to social auditing. They would then
visit the quarries and inquire if the quarries were functioning legally with all
necessary licenses,'' said Madhusoodanan Nair,
Mookkunnimala Samrakshana Samithi activist and Kerala Shastra Sahitya Parishat
Pravachambalam Unit president.
