More than 500 works as part of the pre-monsoon cleaning of capital

More than 500 works related to cleaning, dehydration and increasing pipe depth are planned at Thiruvananthapuram City, as part of the premonsoon cleaning campaign for the company, irrigation department and public works department.

While the company’s sanitation workers will be responsible for a large number of drainage ditches, minors and the main irrigation department will handle most of the canals.

According to company officials, the citizen agency has allocated an initial stage cleaning of drains of Rs 1.25 lakh per ward.

Intermittent cleaning

“This year, we cleaned up the drainage in areas where water usually occurs, given the possibility of flooding during summer rains. In recent years, the company has changed from the old model of annual cleaning to the year-to-year cleaning model in these areas to prevent flooding due to non-seasonal rainfall, but even if we waste flooding, it can be wasted, even if flooding is wasted, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is wasteful, it is waste

According to a major irrigation department official, work is currently underway in some major canals, while proposals against others are awaiting sanctions.

“Cleaning and static work is currently being carried out for the Amayizhanjan Canal, ulloor Canal and Pattom Canal. However, funds for Thekkenakara Canal and Parvathy Puthanar are waiting. For Thettiyar Canal, for Thettiyar Canal, it has been decided to clear the entire park through a series of parks and parts of the park and work to sort out the part. The canal, as a contraction of the canal on campus, has caused flooding in the area in recent years,” said irrigation officials.

Shutter Bridge

A shutter bridge in Kannammoola was responsible for flooding in these areas during heavy rains and was demolished as part of the ongoing maintenance work by the small irrigation department in the Pattom canal. A large amount of waste that flows through the canal in the rain is used to trap the shutter bridge, causing flooding in the area. The ongoing work of the Pattom Canal is currently in its final stages as part of the Rs 483 crore project in the 2021-22 state budget.
