KOCHI: At a time when Kochi corporation and its suburbs reel under acute shortage of drinking water, authorities are taking a callous attitude towards implementing the project to construct 143 million litres a day (MLD) water treatment plant at Aluva.
Government had allocated Rs 180 crore for the project, but the Kerala water authority (KWA) has cancelled the tenders for the work citing that disbursement of funds allotted from the state government’s plan will cause delay in executing the work!
