The Corporation Council has decided to rethink the proposal of Reliance Jio Infocom Limited and Indus Towers Limited for setting up high-mast lights, WiFi and 4G facility in various centres in the city. Congress councillor P.M. Niyas suggested that the corporation should invite an expression of interest in the case and that ?5,000 per tower was very low for such a facility. Earlier, the corporation cancelled the scheduled foundation stone-laying function of the water treatment plant under Kudumbasree’s ‘Theertham’ project on TB centre premises on Francis Road. However, when the decision was put before the council for approval, the opposition raised objections. Many residents associations in the region had complained to the corporation that such a facility would lead to severe water scarcity in the region, already hit by drought.
