Project envisages irrigating about 10,000 hectares of land, besides catering to various drinking water projects
The inclusion of the Kerala Congress (M) in the Left Democratic Front cabinet appears to have given a fresh lease of life to the Meenachil River Valley project, which remains a non-starter more than three-and-half years after it was first proposed. Senior KC(M) leader and Irrigation Minister Roshy Augustine has already expressed his interest in establishing the project, which had been actively pursued by the late K.M.Mani - the founder leader of his party. The project envisages irrigating about 10,000 hectares of agricultural land, besides catering to various drinking water projects.More Related News
