The Kerala Water Authority (KWA) has decided to buy hand-held devices for meter reading.
The KWA will soon float an expression of interest for purchasing the devices. The decision was taken at a meeting held between Bhandari Swagat Ranveerchand, Managing Director, KWA, and recognised trade unions in the wake of a dispute over the revised target for meter readers.
Earlier, the hand-held machines were used in selected areas.
