The Kerala State Youth Welfare Board has drawn up a programme for a 36-day-long trek by about 35 youth across the forests of Kerala, with rather conflicting objectives. The young men and women would trek about 600 km of forest tracts from Neyyar in Thiruvananthapurm district to Panathur in Kasaragod district, starting on April 26 this year. The youth will be joined by about 15 officials including a medical team. The trekkes would be provided security and help by the State Police.
