The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress party, had sought to bring attention to reports of extensive land encroachments in the ecologically sensitive regions of Idukki. These allegations have raised concerns about environmental degradation and the potential impact on local communities. The UDF's request for an adjournment motion aimed to facilitate a detailed discussion on these pressing issues.
