Car rams mini-truck in Manimala and ambulance hits electric post in Vaikom
Three persons were killed in two separate accidents reported from Kottayam on Monday.
The first accident was reported from the Punalur-Muvattupuzha road near Manimala when a speeding car rammed a mini- truck parked on the wayside around 6 a.m. Two persons, identified as 30-year old Reshma and 17-year-old Sharon, were killed on the spot. Three more passengers in the car, identified as Amala Mary, 25, Jobin James, 29 and Melbin Thomas, 39, sustained serious injuries under the impact of the collision.
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.
