120 families in Kumizhy hamlet in Wayanad demand expedition of voluntary relocation project, increased compensation
Discontent is brewing among settler farmers of Kumizhy hamlet inside the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WSS) over the alleged negligence of the government in providing them a voluntary relocation project.
The Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi, had done a survey nearly 12 years ago on the relocation of settlers under the voluntary resettlement project. It found that as many as 10,604 people from 2,613 families in 110 settlements needed to be relocated.
