KOCHI: Finally, the much-awaited Integrated Urban Regeneration and Water Transport System (IURWTS) project that envisages the regeneration of six once-navigable canals in the city is going to be rolled out.
Proclaiming the commencement of the project works, Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL), the implementing agency, will award the works of cleaning and dredging of Market Canal next week. The formal launch of the project would be held only after receiving final clearance from MoEFCC in the coming weeks.
