Kuzhikandam creek rejuvenation in Kochi: greens flag inordinate delay as PCB told to redraw implementation plan

Hazardous chemicals, including DDT and endosulfan, were detected at higher levels in sediment samples from Kuzhikandam creek and its sub-drains following a mass fish kill along the Eloor-Edayar industrial stretch of the Periyar in May 2024, according to an activist. The activist highlighted the issue as part of concerns over the creek's rejuvenation efforts in Kochi.
