The PWD planned to dig around 84 borewells near river beds utilising ₹454 crore availed as loan from Agence Francaise De Development.
The Alliance for Good Governance, a collective of voluntary organisations and environmentalists, has objected to the move by Public Works Department to drill new borewells using funds from AFD (Agence Francaise De Development).
In response to a report, published in The Hindu on October 29, the convenor of AGG, C. H. Balamohan said the PWD’s move to have more borewells as a step towards providing potable drinking water would be disastrous for the UT.
