SEZ is not inevitable in Kerala

SEZ is not inevitable in Kerala
Sir,
The CPI of Kerala occasionally speaks for people. This is evident from their latest findings that SEZ is not essential for Kerala’s economic growth. The three-member committee appointed by the CPI studied the issue of sanctioning Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the State and has found that SEZs are not inevitable for industrial growth and development of Kerala. The finding is a death blow to SEZ savvy Industry Minister of Kerala Elamaram Kareem. Unaware or not of SEZ Kareem often speaks of SEZs in Kerala with special rules. Rules relating SEZ in India are not applicable to Kerala SEZs according to Minister’s rhetoric.

Kerala is a densely populated state and any decision to establish SEZ affecting people’s habitat is quite detrimental. Main aim behind the introduction SEZ in Kerala is Real Estate business hence it not inevitable for the State's growth. It is heartening to see that CPI stand as a corrective force against the wrong policies of corporate wizards in the official group of CPM in the state.
