Elected representatives in Maradu Municipality staged a protest at the office of the Assistant Executive Engineer of the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) in Thripunithura on Monday against repeated disruption of drinking water supply in various places.
The protest was held in view of the continuing disruption of water supply in Nettur, Valanthakad island, and other areas in Maradu. A discussion involving MLA K. Babu, Anthony Asanparambil, municipal chairman, and senior officials of the KWA was held to resolve the issue after councillors from the Nettur area began protesting at the office in the morning.
The pumping was done using two motors in Pazhoor. The officials assured that a spare motor at the pump house will be used from Tuesday onwards to improve the water supply. A special arrangement was also made on Monday to provide drinking water in the affected areas, according to the chairman.
