The MPs sought the State government’s intervention in the issues. The meet decided to take up with the Union Ministry the neglect of Railways towards Kerala. The MPs were told about the PWD’s need for making available land for the Hill Highway, financial assistance for bypasses, and sanction for the Kattakada-Ambasamudram road. At the meeting, the MPs said the State should give priority to small power projects, generating power from wind and floating solar panels. Their help was sought for restoring funds for the drinking water projects under the National Rural Drinking Water Project as 100 projects had been stalled.
