Perandoor clean-up can pave way for canal boat rides, proposes Kerala High Court

New Indian Express  

KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Friday asked the local self-government department and the Pollution Control Board to prevent the discharge of waste into rivers and canals. They don’t even allow any diesel boat on the river,” a division bench comprising Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas and Justice Gopinath P said. The court also asked Kochi Corporation to explain what it had done to prevent the discharge of waste into the Perandoor canal. The court said that across the world, urban bodies spend the most money on waste treatment, while it is accorded less importance in the state.
