The first phase of coastal protection work in Chellanam panchayat will include the Bazaar segment. The work will begin soon.
The Bazaar segment was included in the first phase following strong demand from people, Minister for Irrigation Roshy Augustine said here on Saturday. He was speaking to the media after visiting Chellanam to assess the coastal protection work. The work, including the setting up of a seawall, will be executed under the supervision of a special team of engineers of the Kerala Irrigation Infrastructure Development Corporation under the Water Resources department, the Minister said.
Seawall erection has been fixed for 7.65 km of the first 10 km of the coast. More clarity is required on breakwaters being set up and the remaining 2.35 km of the segment. The coastal protection work at Kannamaly and Bazaar will be included in the first phase itself, he informed.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
