He added that necessary corrective measures would be taken to resolve the issues and ensure smooth power supply across the state. He added that he was closely studying various aspects related to the power sector and would hold discussions with former ministers and officials as part of efforts to improve the system.
“Kerala is known as ‘God’s own country’ for its rich natural beauty and landscape. However, climate change and global warming have adversely affected wildlife and birds.
Efforts will be made to preserve this identity” he said. He said decisions would be taken keeping the interests of the people in mind while ensuring Kerala’s development without harming the environment, he said.
Regarding changes in KPCC president, the minister said discussions post have not yet begun. He added that it would be better for different individuals to handle different responsibilities rather than one person holding multiple positions.
