Catholic church to hold protest meet against buffer zones

The frustration and anger over the buffer zone issue that has engulfed the high-range settlements of Central Travancore are evolving into a massive protest movement under the Catholic Church. The Kanjirappally diocese and the INFARM, an NGO, are organising a protest march against the establishment of buffer zones around reserve forests on December 30. The Church holds considerable sway in villages which are the most affected areas in the recent buffer zone markings.
