CLEAN KUMARAKOM CAMPAIGN - we like!

Water Hyacinth in the Vembanad lake due to impure water
A sanitation campaign will be conducted at Kumarakom on Thursday as part of Kerala Foundation Day celebrations. According to organizers, the ‘Keep Kumarakom Clean’ campaign is a joint initiative by Kumarakom grama panchayat, Chamber of Vembanad Hotels and Resorts, House Boat Operators’ Association, Home Stays Operators and travel and tour operators. House boat operators will help clean the Kumarakom lake and remove plastic waste dumped in it. The grama panchayat members will spearhead a cleanliness drive in the panchayat. The plastic waste will be collected and heaped at the panchayat grounds. Agents will later shift the waste to processing units.
