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

Of Love Jihad and Other Demons In Attingal

Love Jihad Triggers A Poster War In Attingal Love jihad is the latest talking point in Attingal. It has been in news over the last month in most of the south Indian states . Here in Attingal, several people are confused about it. Some people believe it is an organization, with links to many Islamic fundamentalist sects. Some others believe it is an activity for promoting conversion to Islam. DGP of Kerala Police declared yesterday in the Kerala High Court that the police are not aware of any organization called Love Jihad in the state, or in other words they have not found any evidence so far. However, a poster war is going on between Shiva Sena (the organization for restoring Marathi pride has some followers in this township far south) and the Popular Front (a self-declared progressive Islamic organization). A few days back Shiva Sena activists put some posters citing news reports that Love Jihad (they did not mention whether it is the organization or the phenomenon) is on prowl on t

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

What is the new traffic arrangement in Attingal?

The traffic reforms in Attingal are the talking points in the town for the last one week. The recurring accidents and two deaths due to the accidents have invited sharp criticism from many corners. But many people, despite their criticism, agree also that there is no other to way to reduce the traffic congestion in Attingal. One old-timer says that the vehicle boom hit Attingal before anyone realizing it and now the only solution is to construct the “promised” bypass, a parallel road to National Highway that would allow vehicles going to Trivandrum and Kollam continue the journey without entering Attingal town. Now let us see the new traffic arrangement in Attingal. National Highway from Kacheri Nada to East Nalumukku (near KSRTC bus stand) is made one-way. So vehicles coming from the direction of Trivandrum should enter Palace road, which is also made one-way, from East Nalumukku and come to Kacheri Nada via Town UPS junction and Veeralam through Chirayinkizhu road. BTS road is also m

Two people killed in accident in Attingal

Attingal: Two people have been killed in an accident in Alamcode. Dr. Rajagopalan Nair (64) and his wife Syamaladevi Kunjhamma (54), natives of Kowdiar, Trivandrum, died on the spot when their Matiz car collided with a KSRTC super fast. The accident took place at AWICS junction, at around 5 PM. The car was going to Trivandrum. The super fast came from the opposite direction in the wrong side and hit the car. The region between Poovanpara bridge and Alamcode is becoming a highly accident prone zone. This is the second accident in this region in this week itself.
