Thiruvananthapuram, June 13 : Amidst the raging controversy over the modernisation of Lakshadweep, the Union Territory s Administrator, Praful Khoda Patel is set to reach the islands on Monday, and stay there till June 20.
The Save Lakshadweep Forum , an umbrella group of local activists and opposition politicians who have been in the forefront of agitations against the new reforms of the Administrator, have already announced that they would stage protest marches in the islands.
Ever since Patel, a former Gujarat Home Minister, assumed office as the Administrator, there have been concerted protests against his style of functioning with the opposition charging that he is bent on destroying the culture of the island, a charge denied by the Administrator s office.
