A special meeting of stakeholders will be convened this month-end to review the progress of preparatory works to develop the Thammanam-Pullepady road as a four-lane stretch, Minister for Public Works and Tourism P.A. Mohamed Riyas has said. The road would be widened by the Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB), while the design wing of the Public Works Department (PWD) is expected to submit its project report in a fortnight. Speaking after a review meeting held here with officials of the Kochi Corporation and other agencies on projects related to the PWD and tourism, he said the city’s development had implications for the entire State. Issues like flooding of the city would be solved through technical improvements in drainage.More Related News
