Pariyaram is still private no? They charge for everything. It just cheaper than normal private hospitals. Poor people still travel to Kozhikode medical college. There is a district hospital in Kannur and General hospital in Thalassery. But nothing can replace the facilities in medical college. As per this year budget a medical college is approved for Kasargod but nothing for Kannur. :(

Aslesh, Govt is granting Medical colleges to those districts that didn't have a proper medical facilities.... Like Kannur, Kochi also didn't get a medical college.
The Co-op Medical College is just like Pariyaram... They charge higher... After all we all want one in each district... But Govt has some priorities... I am sure, Kasargod has some priority than Kannur.....

New vegetable market building remains on paper Plans a plenty

A blueprint of the proposed Sakthan vegetable market.
A NEW vegetable market building, which was under consideration, could have solved many problems at the Sakthan market had it been built in 1999. The construction of the building has been delayed for years for various reasons.

The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1999 when K Karunakaran was the chief minister. However, the work did not start.

The LDF government changed the plan and laid a foundation stone for a convention centre and a memorium for Sakthan Thampuran.

The vegetable market building was among the election promises of the UDF in the last election and Rs 14cr was also earmarked for it. The vegetable market was established in 1974 by acquiring Sakthan Nagar, an area of 26 acres.

Though the business multiplied over the years, no action had been taken for the development of the market. It also caused the growth of illegal traders and mafias at the Sakthan market.

I require the opinions of forum members regarding, why KSRTC could not start the city services like Thiru Kochi transport in Kochi? People of Thrissur needs good city bus network. Perhaps Thrissur city is the only city where city bus service does not exist.

There is no govt. medical college in Kollam as well. Kollamites have to depend on TVM MCH which is 70 Kms away.

- A 50 Crore, 110,000 sq. ft. project! There would be separate floors for retail and services.
- Doctors can buy independent practicing clinic spaces. Option of utilizing centralized services like patient management desk, secretarial assistance and call monitoring will be offered.
- Basement and 3rd floor for parking.
- Ground and first floors will accommodate health-related retail stores dealing with eye gears, pharmacy, skin care products, ayurvedic and herbal products, cosmetics, organic and health foods, and health and medical equipments.
- The second floor is meant for allied services, that includes hospitals, medical colleges, ayurvedic centres and insurance companies’ referral centres.
- 4th and 5th floors to be housed with wellness clinics and rejuvenation centres.
- 6th and 7th floors to have 44 rooms investigation rooms.
- Private clinics on the 8th, 9th & 10th floors.
- Amble parking space.

- Would make Kochi the first city in India to be listed among other international top cities to have a health mall.

It will not have medical colleges or Hospitals..... Thats definetly not possible....

Practically it is meant more of Out-Patient services, which includes multiple specialty clinics of individual doctors in all set of medicines.

Then you will have concept of lifestyle Pharmacies which includes not just life saving medicines, but also auxillary items, cosmetics, lifestyle clinics, and rest all you mentioned. Also this includes fitness centers, lifestyle health club brands, yoga/marital arts training centers, a health food court, serving only diet/health food like Guilt free food etc....

Changing skyline of Thrissur

The growing needs of urban living, rising spending power among sections of the people, and a real estate boom are altering this city's skyline as never before.

http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/00492/Fwd__14trksh06-urba_492636e.jpg


The city's skyline is fast changing.

In a place famous for fiercely maintaining the status quo, huge changes are taking place above the heads of people. Rows of small shops make way for malls, and skyscrapers replace tile-roofed traditional houses.

The proliferation of high-rise buildings is altering the landscape of this otherwise traditional city.

Landmarks

Many “ tharavads” that were landmarks of the cultural capital have become things of the past. In just a few years, a string of multi-storied buildings have come up in the heart of the city. Says Cheriyan John, secretary of the Association of Builders and Developers, “Construction of 82 to 100 new residential flat projects is in progress in Thrissur.”

He recalls that the first residential flat project was launched in 1990 and completed in 1993.

“There were only four builders in the early 1990s. Now 42 builders have on-going projects here. After a lull in mid-1990s the housing construction has risen like a phoenix,” he says.

Bustling city

Neither inflation nor the steep hike in the prices of construction materials has diminished the volume of business in the real estate sector.

With the growing importance in education and health sectors, Thrissur is fast emerging as the investors' choice in the State, recording a robust growth and triggering massive real estate activity. Of late, people from other districts have been migrating to Thrissur, which is home to three medical colleges, a medical university and many engineering colleges, changing this hitherto sleepy city into a fast emerging bustling one.

And with all these developments, the demand for land and flats has also recorded a steep rise.

The heavy annual flow of students to the popular entrance coaching centres in the city is another factor that has accelerated investments in flats.

The natural beauty of the traditional city has taken a beating with a rise in the number of multi-storied buildings.

Skyrocketing land cost and security reasons are the main reasons that tempt the people to go for flats. A cent of land in the city costs anything upwards of Rs. 10-15 lakh.

“Land value is not the only factor that woos people to buy flats. Many prefer community living to individual houses. The common facilities provided by the flats too make the flats attractive,” says Raghava Menon, who lives in a flat at Punkunnam.

Not only the city, even the suburbs feel the real estate buzz. Take, for instance, Puzhakkal, known for its vast kole fields until a few years ago.

It has developed into a township with about 80 luxury flats and a row of apartments that cost upwards of Rs 2 crore.

The booming realty sector has also encouraged the growth of auxiliary industries. Scores of shops sell floor tiles, construction materials and household products that suit modern living have come up in the city. Landscaping has also emerged as a value addition facility since the buyers insist on green ambience.

Its not a mall. Its just a shopping complex in the punkunnam-westfort road.
Its built by kingsway properties.

It has canara Bank Punkunnam branch with all facilities and nothing else. It has got spaces left and I hope new shops should come.

Kings way also have a shopping complex on the opposite side which had silver spoon restaurant, but now its closed.

A Gulf Medical store Chain has started their showroom in that Building now. Its impressive.. Relief Medicals and Cosmetics.. It has branches in Dubai Sharjah RAK Calicut and Thrissur. Its completely presented in the way we have medical stores in the Gulf and not like the ones we have here.

There are quite a few buildings coming up on wither side of the road which is making the locality look good. Palissery towers is another one next to Punkunnam telephone exchange and it has CSB punkunnam Branch with ATM locker facilities , GEMS B School and "more" shopping outlet.

Slowly Punkunnam is becoming like the Kadavanthras and The Vytillas with all major banks opening branches and ATMs and also retail chains opening outlets. One more building like these is under construction next to Palissery towers which should house better retail outlets and Bank branches.

Though these are not skyscrapers, even then its turning to be useful for the development of Punkunnam which is regarded as the next big destination in thrissur

But I heard a News stating that they will be making a Zoological Park and not a Zoo... As the Land is still under Forest Department. It will be better if someone can clarify me on that....

Anyone knows abt the Size of the allotted area..?

As per the National Authority State Government was taking this movement very lightly..

This a very good Tourism Project that State got from Central government... Why can't the State make most out of it and create a BIG international standard Zoo and create another Landmark in Kerala rather than trying to just create some shelter for animals.....

^^Hai welcome Hari to this thread. Kindly provide your valuable opinions regarding the development of thrissur city.

Hi Mahesh, Infact it is only through you people i come to know of the development work or lack of it of my city. Infact feel disillusioned seeing we could not complete the model road even after almost a decade. Where as here in Delhi new roads and flyovers are constructed in months.

Yes, Hari... Central is looking forward into the future but not the kerala state.. But I'm sure People in kerala are....

^^ofcourse vinod. But don't worry the land acquisition work of model road on chungam is started. I think the land acquisition will be completed upto westfort easily now.

Corporation opts for iron pipes

The municipal corporation has decided to replace the old and weak 700mm primo pipeline between Chembukavu and Kottapuram with iron pipes under Asian Development Bank programme.

The decision was taken after a report that the existing pipeline running from Chembukavu through Swaraj Round and AR Menon Road had become weak. The meeting was presided over by Mayor IP Paul and attended by authorities concerned.

Water is provided through this pipeline to western regions of the town like Adatt, Anthikad, Arimboor and Manaloor panchayats.

The corporation will utilise the remaining Rs 7cr of the Rs 49cr sanctioned for the pipe line change earlier.

Since it was found unviable to dig through the Swaraj Round, it has been decided to lay the pipe from Chembukavu to AR Menon Road ending Mannuthy junction through Registrar Office Road, Paliyam road, Shornur Road and Kunnathumana Lane. The pipeline would then run across Kottappuram road.

The pipeline established in 80's was found to be substandard because of frequent bursts between Peechi and was replaced with the existing 700mm primo pipeline under an ADB loan plan.

The plan to change the pipeline with an ADB programme came after a burst near the level-cross at AR Menon road. About 1300m of road had to be broken and dug for the purpose

The water authority will take up the work.

Beautification in Thrissur District is backwards....

Now.. calicut and Kollam stands high on this

Chemmannur Jewellers group enters into Gold Loan business. The company name will be Chemmannur Credits & Investments Ltd and head quartered in Thrissur. They plan to open 5000 branches across India by 2020.

So, Thrissur gets another gold loan biggie after Manappuarm...

Beautification in Thrissur District is backwards....

Now.. calicut and Kollam stands high on this

But thrissur looks better than the cities you mentioned, i dont know about kollam, but calicut has become worst due to lack of maintenance.

^^on the last day I heard the complaint regarding, the bad maintenance of roads, from a passenger, who is coming from calicut, in the train.

Next Mega Project!

CCIC project moots 12 self-contained townships
The conceptual report on the Cochin-Coimbatore Industrial Corridor (CCIC) project envisages 12 self-contained industrial townships on either side of the rail and road network connecting the industrial cities of Cochin and Coimbatore.

The project is estimated to require 13,000 acres of land and the good news is that the Mahindra Consulting Engineers Limited, Chennai, which has prepared the report on behalf of the state-run Infrastructure Kerala Limited (INKEL), has already identified the land for this in the three districts Ernakulam, Thrissur and Palakkad districts, despite the reports of extreme land scarcity in the State. :cheers:

The report broadly estimates that the project would cost about Rs 23,000 crore, including the land acquisition component, whereas it is expected to attract an investment of rupees one lakh crore. :banana: The project is slated to generate one lakh direct employments and five lakh indirect job opportunities in multiple sectors, according to informed sources..

Conceived as the dream project of the Kerala government the CCIC is expected to drastically alter the industrial landscape of the State in the next couple of years.

The Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has already submitted the report to the Centre for clearance.:cheers: "We have worked out only the preliminary estimates on the cost and the job generation potentials of the project.

We will fine tune the report after obtaining the clearance from the Centre," the Industries Secretary T Balakrishnan told TOI here.

Some components of the project are to be implemented on PPP mode while the Governments at the Centre and State will have to be the driver for the remaining part.

The proposed townships has been designed along the '`walk to work'' concept with people staying close to their place of work. The report envisages setting up of industrial clusters in various sectors like chemical industry, textiles, engineering and agro-based industries, highly placed sources associated with the project said.

The CCIC has many similarities with the proposed Mumbai-Delhi industrial Corridor project, which also envisages industrial clusters on either side of a dedicated freight corridor linking the two metro cities.

TOI (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kochi/CCIC-project-moots-12-self-contained-townships/articleshow/9727993.cms)

But thrissur looks better than the cities you mentioned, i dont know about kollam, but calicut has become worst due to lack of maintenance.

kerala has lush green countryside and by nature itself beautiful. But the amount of effort and money spent by Noida, Delhi, Gurgaon etc for developing green belts, parks, and general beautification is awesome. No city in kerala can be compared with these places. Our authorities must do something about it. With some effort ( i will say minimal effort) the whole place will truly look heaven- God's own country.

^^I think this is a good budget in the sections of road and traffic, and development of city.

Traffic:
1. I think this will be renovation work of the existing poothole over bridge , which is essential. But the sad factor is that the Corporation does not make fund for the Kokkalai fly over which is useful for reducing the traffic at Divanji Moola.
2.In the case of second one, I think there several hurdles in the form of land acquistion, to materialize
3,4 ,6are very important things to complete.
7,) they only give the assurance of possibility of fly overs. this is clearly escapism. It is very important to build fly over at Kokkalai and West Fort
8 - 17 are welcoming decisions

Development:
In this section almost all decisions get claps.

But the implementation of the above facts are important to city and that is the big hurdle in Kerala

Mahesh, I think even though the proposals are laudable, don;'t know what will happen at the end of the year- every regime makes a new masterplan- and only plan- what happened to the previous corporation's thekkinkadu development and the money spend? when my family shifted to westfort in 1977, it was told that there will be ring road and a new bus stand at west fort for kunnamkulam and all- i left trichur in 87 due to my job, but my mother is still at west fort and in these 34 no ring road has come up, no bus stand, no flyovers, i don't know what is ailing this corporation. as far as i can remember, only raju narayanaswami when he was distt collector did some work aimed at developing the city. what we call is just private investment in real estate- nothing else.

^^Hari, that is Kerala. here nothing will be implemented in time frame. You know the model road project from Naduvilal to Puzhakkal via west fort and ayyanthole. It is in the midway. now some work is going on in between civil station and west fort jn that is all. All actions are like this. this is not only the problem of thrissur, it is the problem of entire kerala.

Next Mega Project!

CCIC project moots 12 self-contained townships
definitely this is an important one. :)

^^According to the new Corporation budget, the Paravattani technopark will be developed.
The e-toylets will be constructed in 6 places in city.

Well Mahesh, I know the fate of Model road,- and when i was constructing a house near collectorate ( behind therambil's house) in 2004-05, the construction was delayed by as much as 4 months because the lane entry point was dug up for making the new drains as a part of model road- then i thought atleast we are getting brand new four lane road- but just after completing the stretch immediately after the lane, the work stopped - so i know of it and follow the condition of the road every time i visit thrissur. Now if work has resumed upto west fort junction, then it is good news and i hope they will finish atleast that stretch. also heard the overbridge of MG road is being widened- is it as a part of this road extending upto round?

^^Hari my house is also there, behind Therambil's house , near to Model Road.

i think the development should not be concentrated merely on cochin which suffocates it massively.

thrissur to thalore by pass road should be made four line which can reduce huge traffics at ollur and other junctions alike and this can be also applicable in the case of thrissur guruvayoor line

ambitious- yet lets hope it will materialise.

^^Let us hope so. Because we can do only hoping. This kind of assurances will come but majority of them won't be materialized. That is the history.

Corporation should stop thinking the city as bound by West Fort & East Fort.Other areas should be given equal importance as well.Most importantly the guruvayoor road should be made into a dual carriageway.Secondly relocating Sakthan vegatable market,rice bazaar to mannuthy.This will make both areas much cleaner,and also easier for the trucks coming from across the border.Another problem plaguing the city is the mushrooming of commercial establishments in already congested areas.For example the new EMKE,Seemas showrooms.

^^ I also support to your view points except about the shifting of Sakthan Thampuran Market to Mannuthy. I think, it is not feasible, because there are a lot of people are coming to market not only from city, but also from entire districts for purchase and buisiness of vegetables. So it will be convenient place for the people. But the matter is that, it has to be cleaned.

Let us put it this way...

1) Let Mannutty get a huge vegetable market which can receive goods coming from Puthur, Nenmara, palakad areas... and distribute to various other parts of Thrissur... Give major importance to Mannutty , Olari , Ollur

2) Modernize the current Shaktan market

^^ If so it is good. It is necessary to develop Mannuthy, Koorkkenchery, Punkunnam, Olari, Ayyanthole,Ollur , R V Puram and Viyyur to satellite level.

Vinod and Mahesh, I have a doubt- after going through many of the posts published in last two years, I find most of those development plan suggested or reported are still on paper. Do these posts ever reach those who matter? I mean those decision makers? or is it just that we keep posting our wishlist? It is true those who belong to trichur want it to be a world class city. But does the corporation or the state govt ever have the same desire or just want to pass the five years they will be in power?

No any projects with long vision will be implemented in Kerala, at least in our city. For getting a sanction for a project, several ministries should take decisions at state capital and it's not used to happen often. That's why the relocation of Zoo and many other projects are getting lagged infinitely. Now, a competition is going on between Transport Department and our Corporation. Transport Department was using Corporation ground in Ayyanthole for conducting driving test. Corporation has banned using that now and has been asking them for a very long time to provide KSRTC land for getting rid of bottle-neck state in KSRTC ring road. KSRTC is asking 50 cent of land worth crores in S.T Nagar instead. These two authorities will argue for decades and the ultimate loss is for common people.

Mayor or coucellors are having least interest in the development. Many councellors are collecting bribe for unauthorized deals. The attitude of Corporation will not change even if other party comes into charge. Thrissur Corporation is not having much debts when compared to others since Electricity department is controlled by Corporation and it's having many properties around the city. Many projects have been announced in the recent budget, but everyone know that nothing will be fulfilled. This drama will go on and on..

Hari, In this forum we have been sharing our dreams. But, these will remain as our dreams unless authorities take interest in city development.

Justin, all I can say is that situation is quite disgusting. Since 1987- the year I left Trichur because of my job- the only change I see there is a few skyscrapers- built by private builders and practically nothing at all. Roads are all the same except some unscientific raising of round with water logging problem- no dividers in most of the roads, I heard even the boating service started by Adat Panchayat has been stopped by the govt on the grounds of safety. I read a lot about Vanchikulam and boating facility there- When i visited trichur last june, there was no boat to be seen ( this was initiated during the tenure of ex mayor Bindu). When the left rules, we say since even for simple issues they have to get clearance from politbureau, nothing happens, and when UDF rules, we say there are no powerful leaders from tcr so nothing happens- so whoever rules, nothing happens.
I don't know what will happen to the medical university and the zoological park. We may need another Shaktan or atleast an Ikkandawarrier for trichur to move ahead.

We need scientific and well planned developments especially for the tier two cities such as Trichur, Kollam, Kottayam, and Kannur. Our leaders and politicians should show more know-how and responsibility. Moreover, tier two cities should be given more infrastructural development now itself than it becomes ever late. We know how some of the tier one cities are getting suffocated due to unplanned development.

ofcourse Hari, our leaders are not pragmatic and they do not have interest on development. They are interested to create echo .
Recent example is the case of NH 47 6 line traffic. The government and NHAI is not interested to give at least 50% of market value according to the report. So how people can cooperate with the project. The governments are not for common man , they are for only mafias.

Passengers' body seeks more trains and 'Memu' services

The Thrissur Railway Passengers' Association presented a memorandum, demanding developments required for the Thrissur railway station.
The memorandum demands immediate doubling and electrification of Shoranur-Mangalore tracks and doubling of the Ernakulam-Kayamkulam tracks both via Kottayam and Alappuzha.
It has also demanded the speeding up of the works on the Guruvayur-Thirunavaya rail track.
Considering the rapid development of Kerala, the association emphasised the necessity to introduce 'Memu' type of short-distance travel modules.
For that, there need to be more lanes and traffic signal system, beginning with four tracks in the Ernakulam-Shoranur sector.
Other demands include, starting of Rs Memu' service in Coimbatore-Ernakulam, Shoranur-Ernakulam and Guruvayur-Ernakulam sectors and a new train between Kannur and Bangalore via Mangalore, Hassan, Arasikkara, a passenger between Guruvayur-Thrissur and another one connecting Guruvayur and Thirupathi.
The passengers' body requested daily services of Nizamuddin-bound Rajadhani, Garib Radh to Kurla and Ernakulam-Pune service via Panvel. The memorandum was submitted to MP PC Chacko, who will be holding discussions with Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi in Thiruvananthapuram on September 19.
Trivedi is visiting the state in preparation for the next union railway budget (2012-13).
Chacko has already completed one round of preliminary discussion with the railway minister.

I think it is not conceptual. But its work is not started.

Lalur to have LPG crematorium


The Lalur electric crematorium will be converted into an LPG-operated one within 100 days. The last council meet took a decision to this effect.

Mayor IP Paul said that LPG crematoriums are functioning successfully in other states, and very soon the corporation will set up an LPG crematorium at Lalur.

LPG crematorium consists of a trolley, cremation furnace, LPG gas combustion system, effluent treatment plant, 100-ft high chimney and other necessary controls and accessories. After the rituals, the body is laid on to the trolley which places it on the platform in cremation furnace.

Combustion blowers and air blowers are switched on and then the primary and secondary burners in the cremation chambers are switched on to get the furnace temperature at about 900 degree. The body reduces to ashes at a temperature between 800 and 1100 degree within 60 to 90 minutes depending on the size and other biological factors. The ash removal system collects ashes for later rituals.

The hazardous gas and other substances are piped out from the cremation chamber and cleaned by venturi scrubber (used in industrial air pollution) with water treatment and finally the hot air is discharged into the chimney. ETP (power transformer maintenance) system takes care of treated water.

The corporation council has taken a firm stand and the tender for this has already been given, according to councilor Francis Chalissery.

Meanwhile, some social activists expressed concern about the project.

"Lalur residents are very anxious about the waste problem and LPG crematorium adds to their concern," said Lalur Malineekarana Samara Samithi chairman TK Vasu.

About LPG crematorium, he said: ''It has not been proved to be a success in India."

There had been worms seen during rainy season and other health problems. The corporation health department said that they would take all measures to prevent health issues.


 





At last the decision has come. I don't know whether this willl also end in another controversy. If the Malineekarana Virudha samithi create the problem then the people , who are residing on western parts of city, will have to go to Shoranur.

Decked up art museum


MLA Therambil Ramakrishnan and others watching the skeleton of an elephant at the multipurpose museum after its inauguration yesterday.
By Faris Arakkal
The renovated art museum at Chembukkavu will be the Onam feast
for the tourists coming to the city. MLA Therambil Ramakrishnan opened the art museum and the multipurpose museum to the public at a function held
at the museum hall yesterday.
Renovation under the government's 100-day programme was a laborious effort for the department. "For around six months, we have been working hard," said superintendent of the museum and zoo K Gangadharan.
Art museum has been re-roofed and the damaged parts of the museums were mended. In all, around Rs 6,87,500 were used for the renovation works.
Now, almost all the galleries of the multipurpose museum have been polished and cleaned. "It has a new look now," opined a regular visitor to the zoo. Around Rs 13lakh has been spent for the purpose.
When tourists from the neighbouring districts come to the museum in large numbers this Onam, there will be more income. The day before and after the Onam, the collection will rise above Rs 30,000, said the superintendent.
While the museum and zoo are preserved by the government, the nearby Mural Art Museum is neglected.
At least a garden for attracting visitors to the museum is basic. Mayor IP Paul and councillor Annam John were also present at the inaugural function.

Is it possible to construct a pavillion with a height of 150 meters?

Will there be lifts to reach the topmost row?

I think, what they meant is "feet" not "meters".....

150 m would be some 40+ floor building!!!. 150 ft also would be still high (45 meters)??? It will be as good as 15 floor building!!!. I dont think any stadium will have that height that too for a 25k pavilion capacity. It must be 15 meters which is more realistic.

^^ Haha is it from mathrubhumi?

Manorama reports the correct thing.. 150 meters is the length of the pavillion !!!!

Manorama reports the correct thing.. 150 meters is the length of the pavillion !!!!

:D ... Currently the Thrissur Corporation Stadium is not a complete circle it might be 30m length and they might be planing to complete the circle and make it 150m...

But still i'm confused... anyways... hope some changes can be seens...

And beautification of ground by laying grass will only be there for few weeks as per Kerala Standards because of the awesome reputation to maintain landscapes.

A dream is coming true for the sports enthusiasts of Thrissur. A settlement has been reached to allow the renovation of the corporation stadium according to the civic plan.
All the disputes with the National Games Council (NGC) was resolved at the meeting between the Mayor IP Paul and NSC chief engineer Ajith Muhammad which was held at the PWD rest house yesterday. They will announce tender details after renewing the estimate in a month.
The corporation plan foresees a 6500-seat gallery of 150m height in three stairs and 35,000sqft commercial places around it.
The joint meeting decided to run the plan envisaged by the corporation. Apart from them, sports-education standing committee chairman Dr M Usman, state sports council member K Radhakrishnan, district football association treasurer OK Devassy and PR Jacob attended the meeting.
According to the agreement, 55% of the expenses for the renovation will be met by the NSC and the rest (45%) will be contributed by the corporation. The meeting opted for Kozhikode stadium works as model for splitting expenditure and sharing of repsonsibilities.
It was also decided to submit the plan drawn by the chief town planner and will be sent to the council. NGC will take further actions in the matter. The construction is to begin and complete the construction in December itself. The National Games will commence in January 2013.
The NGC's plan to reduce the pavilion and build a fort-like wall for the time being did not go well with the sports fans in the district. Another dispute was that the staircases built for the new building would disturb the present basketball court.
The meeting envisaged Rs 6cr renovating work at the aquatic complex, Rs 4cr works in corporation stadium and Rs 5cr works in Indore stadium.
Mayor said that the corporation would find a way out to meet the financial imbroglio, and is to approach MP PC Chacko.

Road repairs on

BACK TO WORK: Corporation and PWD staff undertake some patchwork at the Museum Road yesterday.
THRISSUR corporation's public works department has restarted patchworks in and around the city, following a lull because of rain and conclusion of the festive season.
The KSUDP (Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project) has taken the contract to carry out the road repairs.
Public works department standing committee chairman ML Rosy said, "The department wanted to complete road patchworks division by division, but delays in fund allocation hinder the works. The unpredictable climate and an increase in number of vehicles are contributing further to destruction of the roads."
She said that increase in road accidents had forced the corporation to take a quick decision in starting repairs.
Yesterday, the stretch of road from Museum Road to East Fort junction was repaired.
Mayor IP Paul had promised to Bus Owners Association on September 13 that
road round the corporation limits would soon be free of potholes.
He has also agreed to convene advisory meetings every week to discuss how to bring down cases of accidents and traffic blocks.

This is the current state of Swaraj Round after introducing renowned Mechadam Tarring last year. Concrete road was better !!!!!!

Seeing the road roller it reminds me of mohanlal in vellanakellude naadu...Our roads had remained the same all time.

This is the current state of Swaraj Round after introducing renowned Mechadam Tarring last year. Concrete road was better !!!!!!

http://i56.tinypic.com/23ixhqe.jpg

True! When thickness of tarring increases size of potholes increases accordingly. Atleast all our urban roads need to be concreted.

^^But the problem is that the construction of concrete roads needs time. In our poltical scenes, it is impossible. because the construction will continue years.:lol:

Concrete roads are superior than any other kind,but very expensive.

also, most petty contractors that the corporation employs are not equipped to do this

^^But the problem is that the construction of concrete roads needs time. In our poltical scenes, it is impossible. because the construction will continue years.:lol:

Salute the diwan who did it in during the rule of Kochi Maharaja. The road especially swaraj round remained unscathed for almost 63 years before the corporation decided to macadem it and then this is bound to happen.

I am not fully supporting you .because there are roads which does not have damage last 7years in thrissur itself. Consider the case of Thrissur-Kodungallur road. This road is built 5-6 years ago. But there is no damage at all. This road has meccadam tarring. Similarly in the case of Shoranur road especially patturaikkal-Shoranur section. It is also constructed around 5years ago now. No damage at all. So it is not the problem of meccadem tarring. It is the problem of the people who are constructing the roads. As we have seen the contractor(Mohanlal's character) in the film "Vellanakalude nadu", there are a lot of such contractors who works for payment only. We can not blame them completely, because the government also does not give the arrears to the contractors in proper time. Example, the malaysian contractor, who constructed the Shoranur road and Kodungallur/Thriprayar road. The government did not clear the bills in proper time. So he was unable to clear his debts. thus he committed suicide during the work of Thrissur-Kuttippuram road.
This kind of stories are there. So we cannot blame meccadam tarring, because there are strong examples of good work. Today itself i rided my bike from Pullazihi to Eravimangalam near Kuttanellore(About 15kms , from west end to east end of city.) via swaraj round no problem in road at all.(I mean , no damage)

But some roads have the problem in the case of width.

There are some roads like Poothole road, which has potholes, but it does not made up with meccadam tarring.
:)
In the case of swaraj round, i think, the concrete blocks is already there. The last corportation put the meccadam tarring above the concrete blocks. But, I don't know whether you have noticed one thing, that before the meccadam tarring there, the round south portion (especially from bata to marar road junction) had a lot of potholes. The corporation did not change the concrete blocks, instead , they tarred above the concrete blocks upto 2 levels. Thus they raised the level of roads. I think, this is happened. But, I think there is no problem upto this time. The persistancy of meccadam tarring is yet to be proved. But for that we can take the example of shoranur road and Kodungallur road.

Well done Macadam roads stays... But need to be well planned...

Anyways considering the importance of Swaraj road they should have tried for a model concrete road.. providing a huge under round for drainage, Electricity, LPG Gas in future, telephone cable etc just like the Malya Road in front of UB city bangalore...

Garbage collection at Viyyur resumes Corporation steps in

http://www.cityjournal.in/Newspaper/20110920/images/_DSC0094.jpg
A poster placed by the corporation prohibiting waste dumping at the Viyyur bridge near Daya Hospital after removing garbage from the spot.
The corporation resumed waste removal from Viyyur on Sunday. Six contingent workers have been employed for cleaning the area.
The corporation had not taken steps to remove garbage from the area for years. Members of Kalaranjini Arts and Sports Club and auto drivers in the area have been doing the job voluntarily, occasionally cleaning the roadside, according to former councillor of Viyyur and patron of the club Muralidharan Viyyur.
He appreciated the corporation's action and expressed his gratitude.
There were many complaints submitted by the
residents of the area to the corporation in this regard. City Journal had reported the issue earlier.

230 households to get new homes in 11 months

THE INITIAL steps in making Thrissur a slum-free city are underway. The project, worth Rs 400cr, is undertaken under the Rajiv Avas Yojna (RAY).
Actual work for building new homes to rehabilitate slum-dwellers at Thrikkumarakudam colony is scheduled to start this Friday.
Preliminary work like surveying and mapping was being done by six engineers for the last six months. The city corporation is carrying out the work.
In the first phase, some 230 families from Thrikkumarakudam colony will get proper houses.
One major aspect of the project is that those slum-dwellers who have title deeds to show their ownership of the land will be allowed to stay put in the same spot. They will get loans necessary to refurbish their houses.
Debtors who belong to the Scheduled Castes will have to refund just 10% of the loan amount. The others have to pay back only 12% of the total cash borrowed.
Sources said a detailed project report had already been submitted to the corporation. Even soil tests too had been completed at Thrikkumarakudam. All the paper work would be finished before September 23.
Mythri, a private consulting agency, has been doing the preliminary work. Kudumbasree members were assisting the corporation with the survey and other works.
The RAY project envisages eradication of 33 slums from Thrissur within 11 months. But the corporation has plans to remove all the 133 slums in due course of time.
When the project was completed, said mayor IP Paul, "at least 80% of the slums will have been removed".
The Kerala government is extending the Rajiv Awas
Yojana housing project to all the five city corporations in
an effort to promote slum-free urbanisation. It is a joint initiative of the Centre and the state.
Under the RAY project, Thrissur, Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Kochi, and Kozhikode would get financial aid. RAY seeks to tackle the problems of the slum-dwellers and the urban poor with the help of the respective state governments.
RAY's detailed plan includes surveying and mapping of the existing slums in the five corporation areas, assessment of the growth of the cities
with a 20-year perspective, necessary legislative and administrative changes required for urban land expansion, changes proposed in the town planning regulations and actions to obtain commensurate land.

Great move... I think that land can be used for railway purpose ?

Mahesh, I commented on the basis of the photograph. I don't know the exact condition of the road as I have last seen it in june first week when the monsoon was about to begin. so the damage monsoon fury has done to the road is not known to me. Yet all i can say is that whatever you do, it may not withstand what the concrete road of diwan withstood. To make matters worse, the type of contractors and the policy of government will only result in shoddy work in most areas ( i work in govt sector- and i know the rigours the contractors have to go through to get payments). Yet i support vinod's suggestion that atleast we could have maintained the concrete road of swaraj round. with the sort of ups and downs and innumerable pocket roads, from where vehicle take sudden almost 90 degree turns and the rains that kerala experience, it is difficult to maintain roads unless it is of world class quality.

^^yes i also agree about the persistency of concrete roads.I also like them. But my concern is that in order to build that kind of roads, time is a constraint. From our past political experiences,( ie in order to build a single bridge we take years) by whatever reasons, we take a lot of time to complete.

City Corporation should have a view of how Swaraj round should look after 20 years from now...

I think the pic showed demoliton of minerva- well the bookshop from where we used to buy books during our school and college days. Now will they be shifting to the shopping complex built there and remaining vacant for sometime now? is it a part of the drive to make MG road 4 lane? also on the opposite side there are plenty of old buildings- some vegetable shop, watch repair, readymade shop etc

Demolition is going on and on @ Naikanal

the authority must retain the historically valuable buildings.Also must bring a plan to give some streets a heritage kinda status to sustain the old world charm of the streets..like ari angadi,high road etc..i think that will b a quality development...bigger buildings in these places means more traffic and crowd in city's center.

^^I have strong doubts regarding its strength. If it is strong we have to retain it. But if it does not, it has to be evaquated. If it can not withstand the firework effects of Thrissur pooram, it should be demolished. Otherwise Thrissur city has to face a huge death toll, by cracking down of the building as cracking of some old buildings of Mumbai.

a major fire broke out in the bsnl office in pattalam road..........guess people will have trouble with their phones and internet now....

Mahesh, More than pooram finish, it is the heavy monsoon rains like the one kerala is experiencing this year , that could lead to major building collapses as it is usual these days in Mumbai. But as far as I can see, there are still plenty of old style buildings including the old municipal complex near Distt hospital. Also last time i found the Lions ward demolished. it used to be the best ward back in early 70s as i remember people saying " he is admitted to Lions ward" about some patient. and it was not that old building.

^^ ofcourse HK. you are right. there are some old buildings in city. do you remember about the collapse of back of the Kerala Bhavan tourist home at P O Road. I think these have to be reconstructed.Lions ward was demolished after strong complaint . It was highly congested. It was very difficult to enter into it in last decades.

In my personal opinion, the entire Chettiangadi junction should be demolished and construct a new junction which has sufficient width in roads and junction. There should have fine buildings on the sides of roads with footpaths.

very true- whenever i am in kerala i had to pass through chetti angadi jn. as my wifehouse is in ollur. and there are occasions when the long queue of vehicles is upto the ring road crossing and beyond almost half a km away - especially in the mornings. koorkancherry road and the junctions at kokkalai and chettiangadi need real renovation- but so do shornur road, kuruppam road etc.. which are i think even narrower.

nice photo justin, we had strong attachment to Minerva and current books of naduvilal. I still used to get smiling nods from the fellows in Minerva-from where i used to buy college books during my college days in the 80s. next time i visit thrissur, these old structures won't be there- and naduvilal will have a whole new look.

Malabar group plans township projects

Tags: Malabar, township, News
MALABAR Builders, known for jewellery business, is coming up with two township projects in Mangalore and Thrissur. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia-based entrepreneur Ravi Pillai, who recently bought Leela group property for Rs 500 crore, has picked up 10 per cent stake in Malabar group.

Malabar group will invest Rs 500 crore on its first township project in Mangalore. It is seeking necessary government approvals for the project coming up on a 32-acre land. The second township project is proposed to come up on a 20-acre land in Thrissur, the cost of which is yet to be estimated.

“The township will have all amenities like shopping mall, residential complexes, office and commercial spaces and hotels. The projects are expected to be completed in three to four years,“ said MP Ahmed, chairman of Malabar group.

Setback to new waste disposal project

The new project to produce electricity from garbage received a setback even before the corporation took it up for discussion. Viyors Energy Ltd, Surat, demonstrated the power plant technology to the corporation.

The biogas plant set up by the corporation four years ago is still not operational. Development standing committee chairman John Kanhirathinkal said that the corporation had spent about Rs 6-7 lakh on the plant, but it did not function due to some problems.

It is alleged that the corporation is not maintaining the biogas plant.

Lalur Samara Samithi convenor TK Vasu said that they will not allow any other plan except the decentralised LAMPS project. "The new project is a centralised form of waste disposal which is against the plan acknowledged by the high court and the state government," he said.

Vivekananda Park in ruin :WASTED PROMISES:


The pond at Vivekananda Park, Kuttankulangara, filled with garbage and water plants.
The park has not been opened ever since it was inaugurated six years ago

http://www.cityjournal.in/Newspaper/20111004/images/IMG_4004.jpg

Vivekananda Park at Kuttankulangara near Patturaikal was inaugurated nearly six years ago.
Now, the park has become a garbage dump. No maintenance of the park was carried out by the authorities.
A resident in the area told City Journal, "The park, constructed using the fund from the corporation, was inaugurated by MLA Therambil Ramakrishnan. There is a pond in the park. For the inauguration, the park was decorated with chairs and flower plants. The park was named after Swami Vivekananda. But, after the inauguration, the park was never opened to the public. We were not able to enter there. The authorities closed the park and never opened it.''
"The pond is now a waste water tank. The wall of the pond got damaged during the construction of the over bridge at Patturaikal. Those broken walls have not been repaired until now. During rainy season, waste from the drain flows into the pond. The authorities had promised that the pond would be used for drinking water project,'' the resident said.
None dares to enter the park now as it is full of bushes. Further, the park has become a spot for immoral activities. If the authorities clean the park and open the doors, it will be a beautiful park in the city.
K Radhakrishnan, who was the Mayor of Thrissur Corporation at the time of the inauguration of the park, says, "I remember the inauguration of the park. I admit that we did not maintain the park after its inauguration. No one, including me, took notice of the park and no efforts were made for the upkeep of Vivekananda Park.''

This is not only about Vivekananda Park, any park in kerala cities other than the major one are not maintained at all...

Kerala could have been much more better with more trees and parks along the road...

Thanks all officials for their vision of concrete Kerala in 2020

Great stuff- when will this facility start functioning?Location must also be quite exotic and Lulu centre will get stiff competition.

Read in Malayalamanorama Delhi edition that Trichur traffic police is implementing closure of both the doors of buses in the city. and bus owner's association is opposing to it. Haven't seen any update on that in this forum. When can we expect the kind of low floor and AC buses that have been operational in Delhi since commonwealth games, In trichur and elsewhere in kerala? looks of the city changes with introduction of such buses.

Did u mean hydraulic door open/close control?

^^ Thrissurile busukalkk onnum door illa mashe. Ticketum illa.

^^ Thrissurile busukalkk onnum door illa mashe. Ticketum illa.

Ohh I never observed that. I knew there was no ticket given.
I remember some news of suggestions to fit hydraulic control of doors in private buses in kozhikode, thought it would be the same. Why should they oppose for doors in buses? Dont understand what they lose in fitting that except the price of the door which btw is supposed to be part a bus!.

^^ ie the case of private bus here. They are not ready to give the tickets and ofcourse there is doors on the front stare case of the bus. but some times they will tie the door to the side of the bus. Then a cleaner will stand there . Don't ask such questions to the bus conductor why don't they have ticket? appo inganeyoru utharavum kittum " ivide inganeya chetta". ie their character. I think the most egotic bus labours will be of thrissur. If somebody ask any doubt to reach the destination, they never mind it. They don't have a helping attitude.:bash:
Luckily now some buses have installed doors on the front stare case. I don't know how many days, they will have on the stare case?
The police does not take sufficient action against these. If a heavy fine is there , then these people follow the rules and regulations.

Final bell for fitting bus doors

Police gave a final bell

for fitting bus doors in private buses. The deadline for this was over by yesterday.

Traffic SI Devi said: ''There is strong opposition from bus owners and workers. But, the department will continue to take strict action against the buses without front and back doors. On Sunday, police issued notices to more than 20 buses instructing them to fit the doors at the earliest."

The bus co-ordination committee complained that they did not get enough time for fitting doors.

Secretary of Thrissur Bus Operators Association Pradeep said, "In Thrissur, the time difference between bus services is less and the distances between bus stops are too short. A bus has three workers who cannot manage two doors at a time. Also, there are no good body building workshops for buses in Kerala and so we have to depend on other states, especially Tamil Nadu for it."

At the time of annual tests, it should be ensured that the buses will have most of the essential things fitted such as speed governor, first-aid box, tools, 48 seats, and front doors and back doors. After the tests, the doors will be either removed or be made non-operational by tying them to the sidebars.

A recent accident at Chavakkad in which a girl got killed and a young woman injured prompted the authorities to enforce the rules strictly.

Both operators and workers' associations have threatened that they will stop services if police go ahead with punitive actions.

city journal (http://www.cityjournal.in/Newspaper/20111011/Metro/Metro_1.html)

Thrissur Bus Operators Association's explanation is crap. No workshops to fit a door? that too in a state where mini lorries are converted to buses.

Thrissur Bus Operators Association's explanation is crap. No workshops to fit a door? that too in a state where mini lorries are converted to buses.

The reason for opposition to fixing door by bus owners is beyond comprehension. Infact buses should not be given permit without doors. Authorities are also famous for laxity. were they sleeping all these while- and even if doors are fixed how long are they going to enforce it- we just don't have the habit to do things properly.

Private buses for indefinite strike

THE DISTRICT Bus Operators Association called for an indefinite strike from October 19 onwards, against the police order for fitting doors at the back entrance. The Association has also decided to organise a dharna before collectorate on October 15.
General secretary Anto Francis informed that they had requested workers unions to co-operate. They will meet on Thursday, October 13, to chalk out further plans.
The Association demanded the intervention of transport minister in the matter, and the secretary added that fitting the back doors is not practical due to the scarcity of workers.

Right for everyone to question sometimes looks stupidity.....

This happens only in Kerala..... :D

A project wasted


HAVE A NICE DREAM!: A school boy taking a nap while waiting for his school bus at Swaraj Round.
Wheel barrows dumped at Ayyanthole zonal office of the corporation are getting rust
Around 100 wheel barrows remain unused at Ayyanthole zonal office of the corporation which were bought under Kerala Sustainable Urban Development Project (KSUDP) for waste disposal.
The wheel barrows were introduced for Kudumbasree units when KSUDP had launched a waste disposal project in 2009 and the Ramky Waste Management Company was entrusted with the work. But the project was dropped following technical problems.
According to the project, waste would be collected from each house using these wheel barrows and segregated at various regional centres. The segregated waste would be sent to respective dumping yards.
Former public works standing committee chairman AM Krishnan admits that lakhs of rupees were spent on buying these wheel barrows alone.
Apart from wheel barrows, there are vehicles, shovels and other equipment left unused at different zonal offices of the corporation.
City Journal had reported of eight Piaggio Apes getting rust in the corporation compound.
Buckets for carrying waste in different size and shape were also found dumped on the terrace of the zonal office.
The wheel barrows dumped in front of Priyadharshini Community Hall at Olarikkara are in worst condition with damaged tyres.


Thanks corporation... for wasting money and time of thrissurites...

Corporation initiates UID project

THRISSUR Corporation will distribute Unique Identification Number 'Aadhaar' to the residents in the corporation area at the earliest and the procedures will be initiated this week.

At a meeting held at the corporation office yesterday, Deputy Mayor Subi Babu presented the Unique Identification Database (UID) project.

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the central government agency, will issue 'Aadhaar', a 12-digit unique number, to all residents in India. It is easily verifiable online.

The number will be linked to a centralised database, which includes basic demographics and biometric information-photograph, 10 fingerprints and iris image of each person.

In the case of children under 15 years, the number will be temporary and the database will be revised at ages five and 10, issuing the permanent number at 15.

The aim is to eliminate duplicate and fake identities in government and private databases. The number is random generated, devoid of any classification based on caste, creed, religion or region.

In Thrissur Corporation, Keltron will distribute UID numbers in the urban areas and Akshaya E-kendras in the rural areas. The councillors will be introducing it in the coming days.

Keltron Thrissur general manager in charge VM Nandini, IT mission co-ordinator Sreekumar, Rinil John of Akshaya E-Kendra Thrissur, health standing committee chairman CS Sreenivasan, district panchayat members and councillors participated in the meeting.

THRISSUR: Thrissur corporation is planning to start vegetable farming at Mental Health Hospital, West Fort with the aim of providing solace to the mentally challenged by involving them in farm activities.

"Vegetable farming should be a relief for the mentally challenged here. This would be started with the cooperation of agricultural department and the hospital committee".

Out of the14 acres of hospital premises, vegetables are grown in three acres.

"Farming would also help to avoid the growth of weeds. Corporation had spent around Rs 1 lakh to remove weeds from here on October 2".

Sreenivasan added the decision on the type of vegetables to be cultivated at the hospital premises would be taken after holding discussions with agriculture officials.

The corporation would take a decision soon on how much it would earmark for the farming, Sreenivasan said.

There are around 400 inmates in the hospital, which was established by Sakthan Thampuran, founder of Thrissur Town, before independence.

Thrissur: The security of the Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple is being tightened by installing surveillance cameras and other advanced gadgets.

A high-level meeting convened by the Chief Minister, Mr. Oommen Chandy, here on Monday decided to install the security gadgets at the temple within 60 days. An officer of the rank of SP would be appointed as security officer of the temple.

To avoid inconvenience to the devotees, police will check them at the gate of the temple and devaswom officials will handle security arrangements inside the temple premises.

The additional chief secretary (home), Mr. K. Jayakumar, presented a security plan for the temple at the meeting that was attended by the devaswom minister, Mr V.S. Sivakumar, the cooperation minister, Mr. C.N. Balakrishnan, the director-general of police, Mr. Jacob Punnoose and board members.

The meeting was convened in the wake of complaints from devotees and temple officials regarding the inconvenience caused by security checks of the police. The police had tightened the security of the temple following a recent bomb hoax.

Though a detailed security plan was prepared for the temple following an alert from the union home ministry in 2009, it has not yet been implemented.

Sources said there was a lack of coordination between the cops and temple officials and this was affecting the setting up of a security system for the temple.

Long distance buses especially those to other districts have doors and tickets. It is mostly the short distance buses plying within Thrissur district which doesn't have both.
