The Keralam government has pledged full support for the renovation of the Parvathy Puthanar waterway, according to Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. A new boat service through the waterway was launched at the Veli Tourism Village on Wednesday. The initiative is part of the broader Mission Samudra project, with the potential to integrate the waterway with other significant lakes and rivers across the state.
Speaking in the Assembly on Friday, Satheesan emphasized the waterway's capacity to become a premier tourist destination in the capital. He detailed the progress made on the renovation of the Chilakoor Tunnel in Varkala and the Sivagiri Tunnel as part of the Akkulam-Chettuva Waterway project. Satheesan assured that the beautification of the riverbanks would be carried out promptly, and work on the remaining sections, including the resettlement of families living along the riverbank, would continue.
