Bus terminal and shopping complex to be demolished
One of Thrikkakara’s oldest landmarks, the bus terminal and shopping complex, will be demolished, and a modern facility is being planned to be established in its place. Thrikkakara municipality chairperson Ajitha Thankappan said the municipal council had decided to go ahead with the project, which had been in planning for several years. She said the council had given in-principle approval for the project. The municipal complex was established way back in 1978, when K. Avukader Kutty Naha was the minister for panchayats. It had fallen on bad days as the municipality grew in population and more busy centres came to be established. It is close to the district headquarters, where thousands of people arrive on a daily basis for transacting different businesses.
