Part of measures being taken to prevent flooding in city hub Twenty-eight railway culverts on the Chittoor-Thevara stretch are being unclogged and cleaned by workers deployed by the Kochi Corporation, as part of measures being taken to prevent flooding in the city hub during the monsoon season.
All efforts were being made to avert flooding in the city, including unclogging of culverts along the railway corridor, taking into account low-lying areas getting inundated in the recent spate of rainfall, said Sunitha Dixon, chairperson of the works standing committee.
The Railway, which used to clean the culverts annually once, gave its no-objection certificate to the Kochi Corporation and also deputed a supervisor from its civil engineering wing to help speed up the cleaning process.
