Mysuru: The Coorg Wildlife Society (CWS) has requested the State Government to continue the existing policy of total ban on conversion of agricultural land, plantation land and paddy land into commercial and residential layouts in Kodagu.
In a letter to Chief Secretary T.M. Vijay Bhaskar, President of CWS K.C. Biddappa has said that one of the reasons for devastating floods and unprecedented landslides that played havoc on thousands of planters and residents of Kodagu is rampant and indiscriminate land conversions that have eroded the mountains and hilly regions.
