Kozhikode Corporation to go ahead with STP projects at Kothi and Avikkal

The Hindu  

The Kozhikode Corporation has vehemently denied media reports that it is dropping the sewage treatment plant projects at Kothi and Avikkal Thodu and confirmed its decision to go ahead with the project. Coming down heavily on a section of visual media for announcing on Monday morning that Mayor Beena Philip had personally confirmed the decision not to continue with the projects owing to severe protests in both locations, the Mayor claimed in an early afternoon press conference that she had never made such a statement, and that her words were misconstrued by the media. The Mayor said the Corporation had nearly completed all the projects under AMRUT-I, except the two STPs at Avikkal Thodu and Kothi. Meanwhile, media reports that the Corporation was dropping the projects sent residents of Kothi and Avikkal Thodu into a jubilant mood earlier in the day.
