The Proposed New Bypass in Attingal

A New Delhi based consultancy has submitted the project report for the new bypass in Attingal, with an estimate of Rs. 150 crore, to the Highway Development authorities. According to the new plan, the 12-km long four-lane road deviates from NH 47 at Mamam, from Mamam Palam, and rejoins the highway at Thottakkadu Daivappura Temple, near Kaduvayil Palli. The new road is going to be constructed as part of a far bigger plan to create a four-lane road from Cherthala to Kazhakkuttam, which in effect provides an excellent bypass traffic system between Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. The construction of three new bridges (1. across Thottakkadu canal, 2. across Vamanapuram River, and 3. across Mamam canal) and one under passage at Ramachamvila has been proposed in the project report. The new bypass passes through the following places: Thottakkadu Palam, MLA Road from Ottoor to Perumkulam, Melattingal, Thottavaram, Kunnuvaram, Ramachamvila, Kaduvayil, Kavanasseri, and Mamam. The government needs ...

A Murder, DHRM and the Age-old Dalit Issue

September 17. It was early morning in Ayiroor, Varkala, which is about 10 km away from Attingal. Sivaprasad, an elderly man with a decent reputation, was returning to his house after the daily morning walk. Three people came on motorbikes and slit his throat without any provocation, using a sharp, long knife. The attackers were wearing rain coats and face masks. One Mr. Ashokan, who runs a small tea shop near the place, saw this and could not hide his terror. They did not spare Ashokan either. They waved the knife aiming the neck of Ashokan. Luckily, he managed to survive, despite being injured badly. A few minutes later, a sleepy police constable in Varkala police station received a phone call from a person who identified himself as the representative of Dalit Human Resources Movement (DHRM) and claimed the responsibility of the attack. The news about the DHRM involvement in the murder came to public only on the next day. By that time, the police had managed to nab some suspects. A p...

What Is DHRM and Why Do They Kill

[Read the latest about DHRM here ] The police inquiry about the murder of Sivaprasad in Varkala has been making good progress. It has been reasonably well established that DHRM activists in Varkala, Kollam, and Attingal were behind the attack. They made a number of arrests in relation with the murder and subsequent violence in certain parts of Varkala. In fact, it is learnt that the police have taken several suspects into custody and recorded the arrests of only a few people. The police arrested two people yesterday in connection with the murder. They arrested K. Dasan, a native of Velliyazhakavu, Cherunniyoor, and Asokan, an advocate from Kadakkal. (The place Velliyazhakavu might ring a bell to many, as a highly popular toddy shop functions here, which is famous for its variety non-veg cuisine.) They had already nabbed seven people for the violence in Thoduvey Colony, near Varkala. The arrested people are Vishwambharan, Anil (both from Kaippatti Mukku, Attingal, where similar inc...

Update About Proposed New Bypass in Attingal

The final survey for the new bypass in Attingal has been conducted. The marking of the proposed road has been over, but the actual work has not started. It is learnt that the land acquisition process will start soon. The Highway Development authorities had earlier set a deadline of December 31, 2009 for the completion of land acquisition process. The issues surrounding Puthenkavu temple and land acquisition seem to have died down. Now the main issue is about the fate of the present highway. The Highway Development authorities had made it clear that they would not be expanding the present highway into a four-lane road (the entire stretch from Kollam to Thiruvananthapuram of NH 47 is about to be converted into a four-lane road). Instead, the proposed bypass would be treated as the four-lane part of the highway. In effect, this would result in the present highway becoming a bypass, and the new road becoming the actual highway. Many prominent social and business leaders of Attin...
