ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS HON. SPEAKER : Q. No.361, Shri Kodikunnil Suresh. (Q.361) SHRI KODIKUNNIL SURESH : Madam Speaker, drinking water problem of the three lakh people in the Kuttanad Taluk of Kerala is very pathetic. Kuttanad region is a low-lying area, below the sea level, surrounded by the Vembanad Lake. It is a merging place of four rivers like Achankovil, Pamba, Manimala and Meenachil.
