The Aadi Pampa-Varattar river rejuvenation project has been making no progress.
The second phase of the rejuvenation project was launched by Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine in February 2022. The project is aimed at restoring the natural flow and health of the 4.2-km Aadi Pampa and 9.4-km Varattar, both tributaries of the Pampa river, to ensure effective flood management. More than a year after the launch of the ₹43.93-crore project, the rivers remain silted and weed-infested as less than 2 km has been rejuvenated so far.
