THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Administrative Reforms ChairmanVS Achuthanandan has asked to abolish construction works at environmental fragile zones in the state. While asking the government to seriously consider the Gadgil report, he also urged the authorities to demolish the blockages at the hilltop as soon as possible.

According to him, it is high time for the government to prohibit all activities that can adversely affect the environment. Achuthanandan also criticised the state government for making concessions in rules to protect paddy watershed and allowing too many mining projects in the fragile areas. He said that while the government goes forward with such actions against the environment, people in these areas are left to suffer. According to him, the demand to implement Gadgil report has already risen among people and the government must not wait for yet another flood to implement it.
