The State government is showing utter disregard for Kuttanad and its people, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said.
He was speaking to mediapersons after visiting rain-ravaged paddy polders in Kuttanad taluk on Tuesday.
"The Opposition had raised issues related to Kuttanad in the Assembly. But the promises made by the government remain unfulfilled. It has failed to implement projects including the ₹2,000-crore second Kuttanad package announced by the previous Left Democratic Front government. Six agriculture officer posts in Kuttanad are lying vacant. Several inhabited areas are under water and people are migrating to other places. The government is not serious about the grave problems plaguing the region," Mr. Satheesan said.
