💨 Abstract

The Kerala government has permitted a brewery unit to be set up in Elappully grama panchayat, Palakkad district. The panchayat president and opposition parties criticize the decision due to the unit's water requirements, which they argue cannot be met from rainwater storage tanks. They fear the plant could drain groundwater, exacerbating the district's water scarcity issues.
