KOCHI: In view of the potable water crisis in the coastal regions of the district, additional drinking water will be supplied to Chellanam and Kumbalangi panchayats. In addition to supply through tanker lorries, drinking water will be supplied in mini lorries also.
A decision in this regard was taken at a meeting convened by District Collector P I Sheik Pareeth to discuss the drinking water crisis. The Water Resources Minister will hold a meeting next week to discuss the water crisis in the panchayats. The Collector said that the desalination plants in the two panchayats will be made operational again. The operational cost of the plants should be met by the panchayats. Dominic Presentation MLA, who attended the meeting, said that the maintenance work should be completed immediately. The officials of the Water Resources Department who attended the meeting said that the drinking water supply was interrupted owing to various issues in the distribution network in the past 10 days.
