Q: Any scope of the Aluva municipality improving? I want to move to this locality. I have heard that some British agencies were supposed to meet with the officials from the Aluva municipality. Is this true guys? What was the nature of the meeting, and did any good come out of it?
Of all the issues, the main focus was on waste dumping into the Periyar, flooding of the Periyar, waste treatment plants, the increasing content of carbon which are affecting the populated municipality and the issues of climate change.
But during last year’s visit, they just sketched a brief outline of the various issues of Aluva. However, in this latest meeting the Aluva municipality officials gave them a list of the civic issues that needed to be catered to,
Yes, actually this team had already come to the place last year and an MoU was signed in the presence of the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker-Bowles.
I know that the team consisted of three officials from WS Atkins International Limited, a UK-based firm leading in global design, engineering and project management.
Did you guys know that Aluva municipality is one of India's oldest! And this entire visit was part of the pact signed between the urban planners from the United Kingdom and Aluva Municipality to study and solve the problems affecting this municipality.
Dude not just that, but Aluva municipality had actually entered into a memorandum of understanding with the British agencies, and these overseas agencies had also offered to support the local body to tackle issues of drinking water and sanitation, environmental management issues including waste management, city expansion projects
Yes I heard of that true. I heard that they were going to discuss implementing projects for checking impacts of climate change, urban transport and waste management.
Yes I know that a delegation led by British Deputy High Commissioner Bharat Joshi was supposed to meet civic representatives of Aluva Municipality on last Tuesday to discuss an urban development project.
