Thiruvananthapuram:The government has finalised a scheme to resolve the problem of flooding in the areas around the international airport here, V. Surendran Pillai, MLA, announced here. Mr.Pillai said construction of drains had been taken up under a Rs.80-lakh scheme at Sulaiman Street, Chithira Nagar, Rajiv Nagar and Eenthivilakam. The water-logging in the area is attributed to the construction of roads under the City Development Scheme. The elevated roads played havoc with the natural drainage system, causing flooding. Mr. Pillai said construction of new drains had been taken up.
