Only four districts, Kottayam, Thiruvanathapuram, Pathanamthitta and Palakkad, will get favourable consideration in the final ESA categorisation on the basis of the State government’s report. They alleged that the government was deceiving those who had fought for the rights of people in northern Kerala villages. The committee leaders said even forest land in 31 villages within the four districts would be out of the ESA category if the State’s report was considered. The committee leadership made it clear that they would resume mass protests enlisting the support of all affected families in northern Kerala region. Leaders of the committee alleged that no consultation with the people in the northern districts of the State was held ahead of submitting the final report.
