Amayizhanjan to be cleaned before April
Projects to prevent waterlogging in Thampanoor will be implemented by considering inputs from action councils and with the support of the public, Health Minister V.S. Sivakumar has said. He was speaking at a meeting at the Secretariat annexe here on Thursday. Chief Secretary E.K. Bharat Bhushan presided over the meeting.
Mr. Sivakumar said that the work on the diversion canal from the Sree Kumar Theatre junction to Uppidamoodu junction would begin in a month. The cleaning up of the Amayizhanjan canal would be completed before March 31. CCTV cameras would be installed to prevent dumping of waste into the canal. Illegal encroachments and constructions, which prevented the natural flow of the canal, would be removed.
KSUDP would prepare a project which will include sewage lines on both sides of the canal, slabs on top of the canal, landscaped walkway, cycle track and a parking lot, he said.
