Summary:
Rashid Usman, president of Alfa Serene Owners Association, told reporters the Coastal Zone Mapping done in 1996 was full of mistakes. “The 1996 map is inaccurate and even the Kerala High Court in 2003 mentioned that no definite conclusion can be made with the map. As per the map, our area comes under coastal zone 3. The recent clearer mapping prepared pursuant to a 2011 CRZ notification shows Maradu area categorised under CRZ-II. We request the court to consider this zone change,” said Usman..
