Activists and a large number of people have decided to gather along the Guirim-Mapusa highway on Wednesday at 5 pm, to oppose the government’s decision to fell coconut trees.
“We had led the Save Coconut Chipko Andolan on January 11, 2016 to protest against the draconian coconut tree amendment and proposed cutting of coconut trees in Guirim,” said noted historian and Save Coconut Chipko Andolan Convenor Prajal Sakhardande.
“Once again, the government is planning to chop them and hence, we will gather gather along the Guirim-Mapusa highway on Wednesday,” Sakhardande added.
