Pala bypass to be named after K.M. Mani
The Hindu
Road is regarded as a dream project of KC(M) patriarch
In a significant decision, the Left Democratic Front government has decided to name the Pala bypass road after K.M. Mani, founder of the Kerala Congress (M) [KC(M)] who represented the Assembly segment for 13 terms from 1964 until his death in 2019. The road, which passes in front of the residence of Mani here, is regarded as a dream project of the KC(M) patriarch. The 4-km long and 15-m wide bypass road connects Puliyannoor junction along the Ettumanur-Poonjar State Highway with Kizhathadiyoor Junction on the Punalur-Muvattupuzha State Highway (Pala-Thodupuzha segment). The project was designed when Mani was the Finance Minister in the United Democratic Front government. He parted with his land to enable the implementation of the project. The project that commenced in 2014 was commissioned in 2018.More Related News
