KOCHI: It has been five years since the Greater Cochin Development Authority’s (GCDA) D4.5-crore cage fish farming project came to a standstill. Ever since the state government’s audit found several irregularities in the project, the agency left the project in the lurch despite stiff opposition from residents. “The project had come to halt due to an ongoing vigilance probe which found financial irregularities. Though we haven’t dropped the project, the next move will be taken only after completing the ongoing probe,” said V Saleem, GCDA chairman.
