Gym for visitors, play area for children, and LED lights among new facilities
The 2.20-km-long Marine Drive walkway, which was renovated by Cochin Smart Mission Limited (CSML), will be formally opened to visitors on Monday by Minister for Industries P. Rajeeve.
The ₹7.85-crore walkway was almost fully renovated, including by replacing tiles laid by the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA). This was because the tiles laid about eight years ago on the walkway near the High Court had turned uneven at many places.
A gym for visitors, play area for children, and LED lights are among the new additions on the renovated walkway, a popular destination for Kochiites and visitors to the city. The walkway will by April be remotely monitored by the police using CCTV network. This is being readied as part of the Intelligent City Surveillance System (ICSS).
