The decision was taken at a regional review meeting on government projects and schemes held here on Tuesday, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Wednesday.
Steps would be taken to make available the report of the Pune-based Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS), tasked with identifying solutions to the problems faced by fishers at Muthalapozhi, at the earliest.
The meeting also decided to speed up the transfer of sand accumulated on the southern side to the northern side through sand bypassing.
The meeting, which reviwed projects under implementation in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Pathanamthitta districts, reviewed the progress of work on the Kovalam-Bekal inland waterway in Thiruvananthapuram district. The work on the reach will be completed at the earliest by removing the hurdles, the Chief Minister said.
