Clear encroachments from Pipeline Road in Kochi, says KWA
The drive against encroachers is being taken up ahead of laying pipelines to the city from a 190-mld water treatment plant that has been planned
The Kerala Water Authority (KWA) has instructed the removal of encroachments within a week from Pipeline Road, citing hazards to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. This directive follows an inspection conducted by the agency. Notice has been sent to individuals, some of whom have placed garden pots on the road, prompting the commencement of the eviction process.
Non-compliance within the set timeframe will result in further legal action from both police and courts. Survey stones are set to be installed in the corridor soon, aligned with the district administration, as per Rathish Kumar S., superintending engineer at KWA. The eviction campaign precedes the pipeline installation for the city's water supply from a 190-million-liter-per-day treatment facility.
