'Sanitation’ for coastal areas still stagnant
KOCHI: The much-hyped Suchitwa Mission’s sanitation project for the coastal panchayats of Chellanam, Kumbalangi and Kumbalam still remains on paper. With the project delaying indefinitely, the chances of it bringing any relief to the people in these places during monsoon seems remote. These three panchayats have been reeling under acute sanitation issues owing to their geographical position and absence of modern septic tanks. Every monsoon, the issues worsen due to water logging and the low-lying landscape of the areas.
