Buffer zone: Map with survey number to be published today, chance for people to file fresh complaints

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The map containing the survey number based on the zero-buffer zone report will be published today. It will be published on the website of the government. The people can also file complaints in this regard. Complaints can be filed on zero buffer and satellite survey reports till January 7.

Meantime, the expert committee meet held the other day assessed that there are flaws in the new map as well. Individual survey number information will be on the map. However, some areas in a survey number fall within the buffer zone and some outside it.

The Supreme Court will consider the case over the buffer zone on January 11. There is concern that the procedures including field inspection may not be completed before that. Therefore, the government is planning to seek more time to submit the documents. Along with this, the process of joining the plea filed by the central government will also be expedited.
