Last week, the Kerala Cabinet cleared a proposal for undertaking the work on the canal stretch from Kannammoola to Akkulam in Thiruvananthapuram
In clearing a ₹25-crore proposal for the 'desilting and reconstruction' of Amayizhanjan Canal passing through the capital city, the State government has been compelled to accept a lone bid at a higher rate reportedly due to the urgent nature of the work and the lack of other takers. Last week, the Cabinet cleared a proposal for undertaking the work on the canal stretch from Kannammoola to Akkulam. A July 9 order issued by the Water Resources Department accepting the bid by a Palakkad-based firm, reportedly the lone bidder, noted that most of the contractors were reluctant to take the work up.
