PCB action plan to rejuvenate three Thrissur rivers

Deccan Chronicle  

Thrissur: Acting on an order issued by National Green Tribunal recently, the State Pollution Control Board is preparing an action plan to rejuvenate three rivers in Thrissur. The new plan comes in the wake of NGT rejecting the one it submitted on cleaning up of the polluted rivers in the state and accepting the action plan prepared for only Karamana River flowing through Thiruvananthapuram city. "As per the action plan in the making, it formed a district-level technical committee with members from irrigation department, Kerala Water Authority, Suchitwa Mission, revenue department and local bodies," SPCB environmental engineer V. A. Suseela Nair said. Puzhakkal was found to be the most polluted among 150 rivers in the country more than a decade ago in an expert study, and the fact that the officials are preparing such an action plan now shows how the departments and legislators had overlooked the issue of river pollution.
