MARAMON VENUE TO BE PLASTIC-FREE
The Mar Thoma
Evangelistic Association (MTEA) has made elaborate arrangements to make the
Maramon convention venue free of plastic.The century-old religious meet, which
is billed Asia’s largest annual Christian congregation, will be held at its
traditional venue on the riverbed of Pampa at Maramon, near Kozhencherry, from
February 14 to 21. The annual meet is organised by MTEA, the missionary wing of
the Mar Thoma Syrian church of Malabar.
According to MTEA general
secretary Fr. George Varghese Punnackadu, there will be a total ban on plastic
products at the meeting venue. The MTEA has prohibited even flex boards at the
venue and the ban would be applicable to all commercial stalls, Fr. Punnackadu
said.
