After severe delays which triggered a public outcry, work on the sewage pipeline at Anayara was back in full swing on Sunday.
The Kerala Water Authority (KWA) expects to complete the work, now progressing at the Maharaja’s Lane in the area, over the next few days.
The horizontal directional drilling machine, which had broken down several weeks ago forcing the contractor to halt the work, will go into action from Monday, Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine’s office said. The repaired hydraulic motor of the machine arrived in Thiruvananthapuram from Chennai on Saturday night. On Sunday, work was mainly carried out using the smaller drills.
