pan-Kerala

KOLLAM: Enthused by the success of the pioneering Champions Boat League (CBL) that concluded Saturday, the Kerala government is taking the water event’s next edition to venues across the state, two key ministers said.

The 2020 CBL will be pan-Kerala, thus spreading northward across Malabar, finance minister Dr TM Thomas Isaac and his tourism counterpart Kadakampally Surendran, said at the 12th and final round of the league. 

The CBL’s valedictory function coincided with the President’s Trophy Boat Race at the scenic Ashtamudi Lake in this city.
