more-inThe popular movement against the setting-up of the proposed biomedical waste treatment facility near Palode shows no signs of letting up. The action council that has been opposing the move of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) is all set to intensify its agitation on Monday. The Agasthyamala Biosphere Conservation Forum, which has been spearheading the agitation, has accused the Indian Medical Association (IMA) of attempting to implement the project at any cost, despite claiming to understand the concerns of the public. The protesters will erect a makeshift ‘pandal’ at the proposed project site on Monday as part of intensifying their agitation. The presence of several scheduled caste and scheduled tribe families in the close vicinity to the project site was also highlighted.
