Work taken up under Phase-III of Operation Breakthrough project
The renovation and declogging of Mullasery canal has begun as part of the third phase of Operation Breakthrough to mitigate flooding in the city, using ₹10 crore allotted by Cochin Smart Mission Limited (CSML).
The work to widen the canal to four metres, being executed by the Minor Irrigation Department, began on Saturday by deepening and cleaning the portion near the KSRTC bus stand. The bed level will be deepened by 2.50 metres. The full extent of the canal, up to the portion where it drains into the backwaters, will be renovated, said a press release.
Encroachments on the shallow canal have caused large-scale flooding of the bus stand, Ernakulam Junction railway station, and MG Road.
