Protesters to Sue If Gov’t Approves Economic Corridor Zoning
Demonstrators from three eastern provinces promised Monday to take the government to court if it approves a new economic zoning law which they claim will severely affect their livelihoods.
The protesters made the threat at a rally in front of Government House today, where they said the Eastern Economic Corridor will turn swathes of agricultural land into industrial zones, irreversibly affecting farmlands and the environment.
