The agencies responsible for the protection of the Periyar River continue to grope in the dark on the increasing cases of discolouration of the water body that remains the sole drinking water source for lakhs of people.
The change in the character of the water was visible on Saturday and Sunday. This was the fourth such incident reported in the industrial stretch over the last two months. Despite the growing cases, the government departments, including the Kerala State Pollution Control Board, local bodies along the river stretch and the Irrigation Department have not been able to identify the source of discolouration. The latest incident was reported upstream of the regulator-cum-bridge at Pathalam in Kochi.
