Letter to the Editor

Sir,

The news that a new project is going to come up at our place called Kumarakom is alarming. I understand that this new project is aimed at processing the waste generated by Kottayam town.

This in my view is going to be a serious environmental and economic issue as Kumarakam is a tourist destination which promotes various aqua tourism activities, and the annual revenue generated by this place crosses millions. The marine and avian life in the sanctuary is bound to face problems too.

Therefore, it is extremely important to look into the environmental and social aspects of this particular project covering some ten acres of land. Further, there is going to be great threat of epidemics too as waste dumped in here may get mixed with the lake waters.

So, I would like the authorities to look into this issue and halt the project for the time being.  And your Daily’s concern towards issues of common interest is known for all, and I am hopeful that this letter would reach the right people.

A responsible citizen
