The standoff between the Kozhikode Corporation and the local people of Avikkal Thodu over the upcoming Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in the locality may not end soon. While the local people are determined to step up their protest against the plant, the Corporation has no other alternative than to defy them and go ahead with the project.
“There is no scope for more talks with people when they are not ready to listen. The protest committee has sabotaged our every attempt to reach out to the common people there. Now, we are trying to convince them using a one-on-one approach,” Mayor Beena Philip told The Hindu.
