A day after the order of the State Disaster Management Authority granting permission to PVR Naturo Park owned by P.V. Anwar, MLA, at Kakkadampoyil to partially function became public, the All Kerala River Protection Committee has demanded the State government to cancel the order.
The committee said that Sections 55, 30, and 22 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, were totally ignored while issuing the order and alleged that the government was deliberately putting children at risk.
The government order (GO) dated August 21, 2023, says that the committee constituted by the government to carry out design work for risk reduction at the park has found that the construction at the site was executed without any degree of technical proficiency, and that the documents submitted did not have many details. The River Protection Committee questioned the move to reopen the park in the same GO that cited the shortcomings.
