Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has recommended stringent measures to check illegal dumping of untreated sewage into the open spaces and water bodies in Ernakulam, Kottayam and Alappuzha districts.
He asked the District Collectors to step up action against violators at a zonal review meeting of Ernakulam, Idukki, Kottayam and Alappuzha districts held in Kochi on October 3.
The programme was meant to evaluate the progress of various developmental works and welfare measures for the public initiated by the Left front government. Ministers and senior bureaucrats attended.
