Kerala - Kochi   

Council approves Rs. 24.80-crore projects

KOCHI: The Kochi Corporation Council has approved projects worth Rs.24.80 crore that will be implemented during the current fiscal.

The projects will be presented at the District Planning Committee on Thursday for final approval.

Last month, the council had approved projects worth Rs. 20.99 crore.

However, the project estimate was revised taking into account nearly Rs. 4 crore spillover funds of projects that could not be completed during the last fiscal.

The major share of the funds will go for the projects in production, service, transport segments and projects to clear water logging in the city. These segments together will get Rs. 17.79 crore.

The share of the solid waste treatment projects will be Rs. 2.19 crore.

Deputy Mayor C.K. Manisankar, councillors T.J. Vinod, V.J. Hycinth and C.K. Gopalan were among those who took part in the discussion.
