DCI to be roped in to desilt 5 reservoirs

The State government is in talks with the Dredging Corporation of India (DCI) for desilting five dam reservoirs managed by the Irrigation department.

Discussions are under way with the DCI for undertaking the desiltation of the Malampuzha, Karapuzha, Malankara, Maniyar, and Pazhassi reservoirs for restoring their water storage capacity. These five reservoirs are among 16 whose capacity to store water has shrunk owing to accumulation of sand and silt, according to the Irrigation department.
