Water supply to divisions 33 to 47 and 70 to 72 of the Kochi Corporation to be affected
Movement of vehicles through Palarivattom-Thammanam road was disrupted on Thursday after an old 700-mm ‘primo’ water pipeline of the Kerala Water Authority (KWA) ruptured and the road near Samskara Junction caved in.
The pipeline could have ruptured owing to water pressure, a KWA engineer who was supervising the repair work said. The restoration work is expected to get over in a day or two, he added.
Subsequently, water supply to divisions 33 to 47 and 70 to 72 of the Kochi Corporation will be affected, said a KWA release.
The event will run daily from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., offering a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy dance and music performances, hands-on art experiences, film screenings, and exhibitions from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. These will feature folk cuisines, leather puppets, philately, textiles, and handicrafts.
