Pamba clean but concerns remain

Kochi | Wednesday | 28th November, 2018

Summary:

Despite having a capacity of 50 lakh litres, the maximum water flowed into the plant so far is 11 lakh litres. The previous UDF government had commissioned a Rs 22.5-crore sewage treatment plant ( STP ) at Sannidhanam in 2015. SANNIDHANAM: River Pamba appears pristine and undisturbed these days after Nilackal has been made the base station of Sabarimala temple. As a result, infected water is released into Njunungar stream, leading to high coliform bacteria rate in Pamba. Last year the maximum was 36 lakh litres..
