Mayor seeks to clear air over sewage treatment plant projects

‘STPs unavoidable in view of rapid development of city’
With protest brewing against the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at Kothi and with the agitation against the one at Avikkal Thodu turning violent, the Kozhikode Corporation is determined to clear the air and convince local residents of the necessity of the facilities.
A meeting convened by Mayor Beena Philip on Saturday strived to clear the apprehensions of the people of Kothi. The Mayor promised that the corporation would not go ahead with the project without clearing people’s doubts.
Representatives of various political parties and residents’ associations in the region attended the meeting in which they sought clarifications from experts. At the same time, several people boycotted the meeting, maintaining that they did not want the STPs.
