Summary:
more-inOperation Connolly Canal, the project to remove waste from the canal to ensure smooth flow of water, began near the Sarovaram Biopark here on Tuesday. Trained volunteers of Niravu Vengeri led the operation while volunteers from other organisations, students and government officials took part. All the openings will be covered using wire mesh so that no more solid waste will be deposited in the canal. The overflowing canal had submerged Sarovaram Biopark and Mini Bypass Road, and also contributed to the flooding of Mavoor Road and other low-lying areas nearby. Monitoring committees will be formed to ensure that no waste is dumped into the canal..
