The nascent Welfare Party of India’s (WPI) state committee is organising a Land Conservation march here on October 10, demanding government steps to takeover lease land, the tenure of which was over and the distribution of the same to the landless in the state .
Party national vice president and former Karnataka Minister Dr Lalitha Naik will inaugurate the march, which will cover the Museum Junction to the Secretariat stretch.
The march will also highlight demands such as an end to the connivance of the government to torpedo the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Field and Wetland Act, roll back of moves to permit the utilisation of 5 per cent of the plantation land for tourism purposes, steps to conserve ecologically fragile land, strict adherence to the Land Utilisation Act and scrapping of policies which are only helpful to the tourism sector lobby to encroach the coastal belt .
Welfare Party of India state general secretary P A Abdul Hakkim,vice president Surendran Karippuzha, secretary Sreeja Neyyattinkara and district secretary Anil Peyad told a news conference here on Monday that the focus of the stir would be a new legislation related to land, based on social justice.
The march will begin at 10.30 am on Wednesday from the Museum Junction.
Organisers maintained that thousands of activists associated with the party would line up for the march.
