Kozhikode
The Kozhikode Corporation has won an interim order from the Kerala High Court allowing the local body to start the groundwork for construction of a Sewage Treatment Plant at Kothi.
The court had earlier issued an order to maintain status quo at the site, based on a petition filed by Abdulla Koya and Faisal Pallikkandy representing the local protest committee against the STP.
The corporation filed an affidavit on March 28, which resulted in Friday’s order. However, the corporation will have to wait for a final judgment in the case before clearing the mangrove forest in the area or starting the construction, Corporation Secretary K.U. Bini said in a press release.
