Kochi > Minister P Rajeev reacts to the Malayalam Manorama and Mathrubhumi news about the sea wall on Chellanam coast. Nowhere in the media reporting has there been a single line or a word about the government’s role regarding MLA KJ Maxey, who continuously intervened and followed up in securing Chellanam. Those who raised the question of where is the government every time there was a sea attack in Chellanath are not seeing the government today. But they know that there is a sea wall to cross and so it is safe to cross. They know that this country is becoming safe – Rajeev said. “News were seen in Malayalam Manorama and Mathrubhumi about a self-contained sea wall on the coast of Chellanam. Malayalam Manorama newspaper which gave details of Chellanam sea wall for about half a page and Mathrubhumi Channel which prepared a three-minute long report have done a very competent reporting. People’s concerns have been removed, it will become a tourist center, although they have reported things such as Chellanam and the desired change. It is not known how the sea wall came into being at Chellanam. The Chellanam issue was discussed in the first cabinet meeting held after the swearing in of the second Pinarayi government. Even when the tetrapod project was announced at a cost of Rs. was not implemented.But this government managed to keep its promise to Chellanam.As Ministers Hon. Minister of Water Resources Shri. Roshi Augustin and I went to Chellanath in person and planned the initial activities. Then on June 11, 2022 Hon. Chief Minister Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan has completed 95% of the Chellanam sea wall within a year of its inauguration. The Uralungal Labor Society is managing the Chellanam sea wall construction works by providing funds through KIFB, which the opposition and some media have tried to destroy. We also hope to complete the work of Sea View Walkway soon to promote Chellanam as a tourist destination. The continuous intervention and follow-up of local MLA KJ Maxey in securing Chellanam should not be forgotten at this stage, but nowhere in the media reporting have these names or the government’s role been mentioned in a single line or word. Those who raised the question of where is the government every time there was a sea attack in Chellanath are not seeing the government today. But they know that there is a sea wall to cross and so it is safe to cross. They know that this country is becoming safe. The 272nd promise in the manifesto of the Left Democratic Front in 2021: The scheme started to build levees in areas threatened by sea attacks with the help of KIFB will be extended to more places. Technologies like tripod and tetrapod will be used for the construction of the sea wall,’ Rajiv said in a Facebook post. Read on deshabhimani.com
