Activists want Aranmula airport to be removed from economic survey



Thiruvananthapuram: The Aranmula heritage action council has demanded the Centre to remove the proposed Aranmula airport from the economic survey that was released last week.

The survey had acknowledged the Aranmula airport as one of the 15 greenfield airports to come up in the country as part of the 'major initiatives to augment better airport infrastructure across the country'.

"We do not have an anti-development agenda and are not against the construction of an airport, but we will not allow an airport to come up at Aranmula by reclaiming wetlands, rivers, ponds, sacred groves and temples,'' council convenerKummanam Rajasekharan said.
