The district administration has geared up to meet any eventualities in the wake of an orange alert sounded in Kozhikode on Wednesday and Thursday.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued an orange alert for the next two days, said District Collector N. Tej Lohit Reddy on Tuesday.
He said round-the-clock control rooms were opened attached to the four taluk offices at Kozhikode, Koyilandy, Vadakara and Thamarassery as well as the local bodies. An emergency control room of the District Disaster Management Authority was also opened. The Police, Fire and Rescue Services, Irrigation, Electricity and BSNL departments had been activated, he added.
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.
