Residents move court for water

Staff Reporter

Kochi: A writ petition was filed in the High Court on Thursday seeking a direction to the Kerala Water Authority to provide immediate supply of water in the Karikamuri and Ernakulam South areas.

The petition was filed by Benhar Joseph Manayani and another person residing in the region. According to the petitioners, the residents in the areas had not been getting adequate quantity of water for the last one-week.

They alleged that the flat owners were diverting the supply.

The residents were finding it very difficult to do their daily chores. Though complaints had been lodged with the authority, no steps had been taken so far, they said.

When the petition came up, a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice V.K. Bali and Justice J.B. Koshy asked the counsel for the Water Authority to get instruction on the issue immediately.
