Following in the footsteps of the Meenachil-Meenanthara-Kodoor river relinking programme, authorities have mooted a comprehensive revival plan for rejuvenation of the Meenachil river, especially in its upstream areas.
The project, according to the authorities, will be implemented jointly by various government agencies including the Major Irrigation department, three-tier panchayats, Haritha Keralam Mission, among others. The plan envisages desilting the riverbed and strengthening of its banks with coir-geotextiles and planting flood resistant plants and trees. The tributary streams too will be revived to avoid floods.
