Hundreds of people under the aegis of Save Wayanad forum (SWF), a joint initiative of the Wayanad Chamber of Commerce and Kerala Vyapari Vyavasayi Ekopana Samithi (KVVES) district committee, took out a march and staged a dharna in front of the Wayanad collectorate here on Monday raising a slew of demands including a quick intervention by the Union and State governments against the recent Supreme Court order on Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZ).
Speaking after inaugurating the march, Wayanad district panchayat president Samshad Marakkar said that the order had cast a cloud over the lives of hundreds of families, especially the ones living on the fringes of the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary.
