The Leader of Opposition in Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan, criticized the United Democratic Front (UDF) government for its lack of response to a new draft notification from the central government regarding the designation of ecologically sensitive areas (ESAs) in the Western Ghats. The draft, issued on July 27, identifies 9,993.7 square kilometers across 133 villages in Kerala as ESA zones. This decision rejects a prior report from the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, which had sought to exclude populated areas and farmland. Vijayan expressed concern over the potential impact on local communities and urged the UDF government to clarify its stance quickly.
