  • 07/10/1998

An old hydel power project revived by the Kerala Governemnt in Wayanad has triggered waves of protest in the tribal-dominated district. Apart from environmentalists and politicians, religious organisations are up in arms against the 225 mw Mananthawadi Multipurpose Project, as the area contains many religious institutions which would be submerged if the project comes up at the proposed site.
