Bid to make way for Kaipad and shrimp farming
Deforestation of mangroves is continuing unabated in Kannur district.
Kannur is blessed with large tracts of mangrove forests spread over government and private lands. However, large-scale felling of mangroves was recently noticed in private lands at Pattuvam, Ezhome, Cherukkunu, and Kandakali in Payyanur. The land is now being used for Kaipad and shrimp farming.
