THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JULY 22. The Chief Minister, A.K. Antony, today said that irrigation engineering works needed to prevent sea water intrusion into the paddy-growing Kuttanad region would be completed before the advent of the next dry season. Responding to a calling-attention motion of the Kuttanad MLA, K.C. Joseph, Mr. Antony said that the Government was to be blamed for last season's crop damage in the region. The shutters of the Thanneermukkom salt water barrier and those of the Thottappally spillway were in a state of disrepair leading to saline water intrusion and crop destruction. He said the Minister for Water Resources, T.M. Jacob, would call a meeting of officers and farmers' representatives next month in Thiruvananthapuram to evaluate the progress of the work that had already been undertaken. He himself would call another such meeting in Alappuzha in September.
