Gud info justin...

From this we can easily see the difference in pattern of kerala growth when compare to other indian cities...

Government should take this to consideration when the plan kerala cities... and never follow the other indian pattern...

So here.. Central Government should look into this population of metropolitan areas or UAs in Kerala when providing facilities such as JNNRUM extra...

Kerala has bigger cities....

ofcourse, besides those the government should take keen interest to create more job opportunities in these cities. Then the decrease in population will not be here. Currently, the job opportunities are created only in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.

It's a good news... But the bad news is it just 22m ... where we expect a 30m or 45m.. width.. As this is a Sate Highway and Major Connectivity to Malabar from Central Kerala.. Government should give more importance...

This road should be atleast constructed for next 10 years.... 22m will be congested in next 5 years.... Is it better to do it now.. or later ?

^^NH 66 (old NH17) is already there from Kuttippuram to Edappally through Coastal regions of Thrissur, NHAI is only going to develope it as any other NH. Kuttippuram - Kunnamkulam - Thrissur , is not an NH, so NHAI canot develope it.


I think If the Ponnani Vengalam road ever been constructed, then we can merge that to Ponnani - Edappally NH. and the Kozhikode -Kuttippuram NH , should be extended to Thrissur via Kunnamkulam as another NH. :banana:

by doing so NH66 (the old NH17) will become a complete coastal highway :banana: And we will get a new highway to connect Kozhikode and Thrissur. :banana:

Yes The Coastal Highway widening will help in developing Thrissur UA...

But widening Thrissur - Kuttippuram will help Malabar Connectivity to Comibatore through Palakad Gap (Infact Thrissur City to Kozhikode City will be better connected)

Once four laning of NH-17 is completed people from malabar will choose this highway to Ernakulam instead of the Thrissur route.

Ditto, But if the Kozhikodde- Ponnani road ever hapend-even as a two way good road, people from Malabar will use it to go Ernakulam. Because current NH17 is going through the midlands of Malappuram dt.

^^That I don't understand!! We already have a National Highway (NH 213) connecting Kozhikode- Palakkad, to go to Coimbatore.

^^But simplicity, I have a doubt. The majority of containers and heavy vehicles, which are going to Malabar from Ernakulam opt Thrissur route, why? one reason of this the Ernakulam-Paravoor route does not have sufficient width. Another reason is the incompleted Chamravattom bridge. So the vehicles have to come again to Kunnamkulam which is in Thrissur-Kozhikkode route. If the authorities do not widen the Ernakulam_paravoor route, I think more vehicles depend Kozhikkode-Thrissur_Ernakulam route.

Maheshetta, Edappally - Paravur - Chavakkad - Ponnani - Kuttiippuram is all part of NH17, owned by NHAI, And this road is also in a list to develop as 45mtres. Chamravattam is not actually needed to reach Kuttippuram from Ponnani, And there is a news bypass is being built to connect Ponnani to Kuttippuram and it is starting right after the Kuttippuram bridge.

This bypass will ease traffic from Malabar through NH 17 inThrissur dt.

Maheshetta pandathe poleyalla karyangal. We can see the dramatic changes on NH 17 (new NH 66). With the opening of ICTT, its interesting that a sudden jump in container trucks passing through NH 17. Now a days to and fro at least 15containers/Hour. During night NH17 was almost empty(only EDAPALLY - KUTTIPURAM stretch). Bt now the highway experiences a huge volume of container trucks especially in night. Now local people from koonammav, varappuzha area demanding to ban container lorries in day time. After completion of the four laning, the entire vehicles to malabar side from Kochi will pass through NH 17 including some KSRTC super fasts. Now a major hindrance is uncompleted EDAPALLY ROB, expected to open in January. So expect a nightmare at Paravoor route from Jan.

yeah definitely in my opinion, the NH66(old NH17) should be four lined. Then the traffic can be eased in Ernakulam_paravoor route. :)

I think this stretch (Thrissur-Kanjany) is the most densited bus route in the state. Just count how much buses passes/minute.

^^no no biju. The most number of buses are in Aluva-Ernakulam route. The second one is Kunnamkulam-Thrissur route. Thereafter all other routes come. Certainly the Kanjani route is highly bus density route.

Aluva-Ernakulam is a city route, that cannot compare here atleast now. Thrissur -Kanjany and Kunnamkulam route slowly becoming liike ALWY-EKM route. Anyway from my personal observation (may be false) Thrissur-Kanjany is the most densited route (Irrespective of Limited stop and KSRTC buses).

THRISSUR: Consumers in Thrissur corporation limits can pay the electricity bills via online soon as the electricity wing of vorporation is getting ready to implement e - payment facility. Nearly 36,000 consumers will get the benefit of new facility.

Senior superintendent C J Jomon, electricity wing said, "We have submitted a proposal to Thrissur corporation for a facility to pay the electricity bills online. It will help consumers to pay bills without approaching electricity offices".

:nocrook:

^^yes this is a good initiative taken by corporation

I think the high road should get maximum priority in budget,road is very bumpy and spots like ollur is a pain these days..if we are able to make a good road here, will definitely help the growth of thrissur city since it is much easy to travel in a 4 lane highway from cochin to thalore. but... There after problem begins. A large no. Of vehicles are flowing through the high road and causing traffic blocks, we are really loosing the advantage of a fantastic 4 lane highway here.
I think the politicians are not much bothered of this problem.:ohno:

^^ true, in order to get the benefit of the four line highway High road and Mannuthy road should be widened with four line. I think Mannuthy road is comparatively easy in the case of land acquistion which takes time. But in the case of High road, first of all the Ollur jn should be restructured in a proper manner. Now it is a bottleneck. Since both of these roads are under pwd, state government should take initiative . The corporation and MLA should impose pressure to the Government in a proper way.

A fly over at ollur and widening of road will help to avoid such heavy traffic,but again as you mentioned it should be done by the state government,so no hope at all. A fly over may cause another toll system too

don't worry I think it will come, eventhough it takes time. The Thrissur-Kuttippuram four lining is taking place now. It is a state government project, similarly , thalore route should also be four lined nearly, otherwise people have to bear a big traffic problem. There is agenda to develop Ollur, Ayyanthole jn in Corporation. So now they can start the discussions and proceedings of compensations to the shop/land owners in Ollur area. Now the corporation can create alternative arrangements to the shop owners by providing new land and when the state is sanctioned the four lined route, they can start the work immediately. Otherwise the project will be delayed.

Hartal at Pudukkad today

The joint strike committee against toll collection at Paliakkara toll booth has called a hartal in Pudukkad today. The strike is against collecting toll from the vehicles plying on National Highway-47 from Mannuthy to Edappally. The toll collection started by yesterday midnight.
The toll plaza at Paliakkara is the first of its kind in the state. The plaza functions using Highway Traffic Managment System (HTMS) technology. Optic fibre cables along the 40-km highway will connect the plaza to the control centre. The condition of highway, rain, temperature and traffic jam can be known at the plaza through VMS (Variable Message System) in between every 10km.
Emergencies can be informed to the plaza's toll free number using emergency call boxes fixed on the roadside. The assistance of a highway patrolling unit is also available for 24x7.
Ambulance and first aid services are available with one nurse, medicine and oxygen in the ambulance. Call assistants to convey information about the highway traffic are on duty for 24 hours.

Bad to see kerala showing its back when it come to pay for the service/infrastructure..

Yes, issues are there asking the criteria of how it can be collected... But .. that just needs to be discussed..

Political parties in Kerala need to revive their stance if they are really into Political servicing!

The Toll rates demand raise of eye-brow tho! ;)

Thrissur Collector has given order to stop collecting toll due to huge protest.

Yes, issues are there asking the criteria of how it can be collected... But .. that just needs to be discussed..

Though in modern terms, toll is a nessecary evil and we can't demand its complete withdrawal and live in olden style.....

But replicating other states model in Kerala is too difficult and totally wrong.... If a car is coming from Palakkad to Kochi, there is a justification for paying Rs 55 per way as toll for using 65 kms of top class highway.... But those coming from Pattikkad to Ollur, ending up paying this much amount is atrictious....

We have a unique urbansphere....National Highways are never meant for inter-city travel, rather its almost part of urbansphere as it travels thro densely populated cities.... Having one toll plaza at one point and charging high rates, irrespective whether you travel 1 KM OR 65 Kms is something unjustifable.....

The best should be going for automated tolling system, with overhead RFID Toll card readers at every 5 kms of the highway and when the car passes at each gate, automatically an amount is charged, based on concept, say Rs 1 per Km etc.....

It assures pay-per-use for very vehicles, rather than blanket charges for all.....

Going by Google Maps, there seems to be have a clear bypass road to avoid Toll Plaza... Don't know whether they have blocked it or not....

The Pulakkattukara Road starts from Thalore Junction and helps to reach other side of Toll gate Ofcourse, the river and overbridge is an obstacle there.... I hope the underpass and small breaks in median will help

The road you are seeing is the old nh. It can easily bypass the toll booth so the company blocked that road.it was used by the villagers of pulakkattukara.it made strong protest and as a result now they are rolled back to original condition. There is a strong protest is going on on the toll system and new rules.cm has arranged a meeting also to solve this problem.maybe the local people get some mild relaxation in the rules.

Already lot of relaxations are being provided for locals!

Rs 300 monthly car pass for people living within 10km of toll plaza
Rs 500 monthly car pass for people living within 20km of toll plaza
and so on.

Its a big deal when compared with others who have to tear out Rs 2000 for a monthly pass!

Yes.. Tells find something useful and solve this issue.. We can't avoid this toll collecting...

Let the concerned Village panchayats provide RFID or Coupons for people who in a circle of 20km.... and if the price reduces to 40Rs it will help everyone..

Still the Question stays... Like people in kunnakulam coming through ollur has to pay a toll going to amballur....

I agree with you on the issue of reducing the fare, but you cannot eliminate toll - if you need good roads, you pay toll. think about the amount of money you save on fuel. My job takes me to different parts of North india and for such new NH, the toll charges are around Rs 25 one way- not 55. And well you cannot have toll plazas every where- whereas the person from ollur to amballur may have to pay, someone travelling from amballur to airport need not pay anything. I am not sure how to avoid such anomalies. Here in Delhi for using DND fly way between Delhi and Noida, for each trip we pay Rs 22 and that too for just 4.3 Kms. For someone like me living in Noida and working in Delhi, it is a Daily affair and there is no monthly pass even.

The Funniest part here.. is People who will use this road maximum ie travel from Angamaly to Amballor need not pay any toll.. you should only pay when you cross to Thrissur City or out of city... :D

Since it is one of the busiest road.. the toll fee can be reduced at least till the whole NH from Edappally to Coimbatore completes..

My suggestion is to introduce another TOLL just before Angamaly that is beginning of Cochin District.. and reduce the toll price.. this will help...

yeah , I think it is senseless to avoid toll-plaza in angamali. Then reduce the toll price. Now what is happening to enter into Thrissur city we have to pay high price.

The cost of monthly pass is 150.now along with a smart card(they name it so) costing 125.
I went to toll plaza to get the form for it.they gave me the form and asked to bring my licence,voter card,rc,ration card.i have not filled it yet.may be the rate could decrease more :)

Mahesh and Vinod, Almost a contemporary project is the Bhilai/ raipur / Durg segment of Highway thru which i often travel, when on tour. there at Raipur exit, the toll plaza charges 22 and then after around 25 kms another plaza is located at durg city entrance and they charge another 22 but that is for those who have not paid at raipur, otherwise keep the raipur receipt and they will let you through, which means you need to pay in only one of the two at one time. something similar can be tried like one at Angamaly or aluwa with rates brought down to 20-25.

THE THRISSUR Corporation has set up a training and registration centre at Chembukkavu to help jobless youth. This is part of the various employment schemes by the civic body.

Corporation welfare standing committee chairperson Valsala Baburaj said the corporation wanted to make the civic body employment-friendly. "We will start an employment training centre for women at Chembukkavu. The employment centre will open this week.

The initiative is part of a Labour Resource Centre, which is to act as a link between the job hunters and job givers in the corporation area.

The employment seekers like painters and masons have to register at the corporation's centre. The employers and job seekers will meet under the auspices of the corporation. "It's a new scheme aimed at giving jobs to those living within the corporation area," Valsala said. The training centre would allow space for training women. She claimed that a cloth bag stitching centre would start there soon. This would provide jobs to 2000 women, she added. Thewomen employees could earn "more than Rs 200" daily from this, she said.

High-tech vet hospital in district soon: Vincent

"A veterinary hospital with high-tech facilities will be

built in the district soon," said MLA MP Vincent. He was speaking after inaugurating the eighth phase of the district-level vaccination against rinderpest as part of the 'Save Cow' programme held at Pananchery panchayat 'mandapam' yesterday.

The vaccination drive against rinderpest started in 2004. Every panchayat will hold a vaccination camp for achieving the goals set forth then. The immunization camps will come to an end in the district this month.

Insurance for cows and training for using cows for ploughing fields will be taken care of by the animal protection department.

District panchayat president KV Dasan chaired the function. District animal protection officer Dr V Rajan detailed the project. Pananchery panchayat president PC Pathros inaugurated the comprehensive animal protection project.

I don't think so now, because Mr.Krishnamoorthy has authoritatively said that there is no issue of shifting hq to some other places. It will be there. Moreover he has planned to construct new international theatres which is fully air conditioned , an open theatre and the existing regional theatre will be renovated .

As expected Thrissur loses the MEMU train. The first electrified route is Palakkad - Shornur - EKM route. In this route MEMU is running Coimbatore and Shornur. Now new MEMU has been introuded between Kollam and Eranakulam. Where is our MP?

ofcourse , this is so pathetic. because thrissur - ernakulam deserves memu train . now what is happening? towards kochi side there is no train service between 5.45 and 7 am . So the people who have to reach their offices at 9am cannot reach on time. Aleppey-chennai express will reach the ernakulam south station 9am.(in some times it is late). So if a memu train started in between 5.45 and 7 am, it will be helpful to the daily passengers. Similarly there is no daily train from Ernakulam south betwee 6 and 8pm. So if there exists a memu service towards Thrissur side, it will be helpful for passengers. But nobody considers these facts. Instead they give importance only to Kollam-Ernakulam memu service.

DRIVEN TO DESPAIR

Vehicles parked in the No Parking zone at Palace Road.
Parking woes worsen by the day as authorities play possum



All over Thrissur corporation, parking has become a nightmare, say residents. City Journal spoke to a few frustrated commuters. And nobody had a good word to say about the way this essentially traffic problem is handled by the authorities.

Town resident Antony Jose explains his plight. "Every time I go to the lab on Palace Road to get a check-up done, parking my car is almost an impossible task. All the roads nearby are marked with No Parking signs. The corporation and the police should find an alternative before taking decisions to put up such boards."

Smile A, an NRI on a holiday, wasn't half smiling when he complains, "The corporation is not taking any serious efforts in solving the issue. Yesterday, since I could not find any place to park in the Round I had to use the pay-and-park facility at the City Centre even though I had wanted to go to Shornur Road." He said he didn't mind paying but the facility was not available anywhere near where he actually wanted to go.

Says Nayana U, a working woman, "I leave my car at home because parking the car and crossing the Round with my kids is not possible. Talks on shifting the parking to left of the Round were highly appreciated but now it seems to have been just hype."

The High Road is another problem area. Says Anita Joseph from Ayyanthole, "Most shops on High Road provide variety goods for Christmas but purchasing them is almost impossible. The only available parking in the area is the open ground near CIDBI. I generally park in the Dolours Basilica and offer a round of prayers in the church to skip questions from the watchman."

But the big question remains, how long will commuters continue this hide and seek? The Traffic department and the corporation seem to play safe when it comes to solving the issue.

"Parking facilities should be provided by the respective institutions for their customers," asserts traffic sub-inspector Shaiju. "We've already given instructions to the corporation that parking is the concern of the planning authority and traffic issues should not be caused for want of parking facilities in buildings," he adds.

Asked what the criteria for putting up the No Parking signs are, the SI says, "We put up signs in areas where congestions crop up due to parking. On Palace Road, most big businesses have provided parking but customers are reluctant to use them. This causes blocks. Same is the case on Shornur Road and other major roads."

Corporation town planning standing committee chairman KS Santhosh says that new buildings are given permission only if they have parking facility. "Our main concern is that certain buildings have converted parking spaces into shops. Strict action is under way against the offenders," he said.

The corporation is also looking for alternative arrangements but a parking complex is not currently in the plan. "The traffic department does not inform us when they declare areas as No Parking zones so we cannot comment on those cases," says Santhosh.

"Shifting of parking, building of flyovers... We've been hearing excuses of this kind for years now. The end result is we've lost hope in the entire system," says N Arvind, a senior citizen. So, what does he do about it? "I prefer walking to avoid all the fuss."

Enough said!

will our Thrissur get included in Jnnurm II??it will help to solve our traffic and transportation problems......waiting for the starting of the phase II.....:dunno:

^^ No Shyam, in order to get JNNRUM bus service Thrissur has to have the population above 5L. Thrissur's population is around 4( Exact 3.5L). However, the former RTO has given the report regarding the introduction of JNNRUM buses in city.

But I am asking a question, why the government is not taking interest on city transport service in Thrissur city. This is utmost neglect from the part of Government toward city. The government can run the Thiru-Kochi service bus in Thrissur city as city service. But nobody takes initiative to it, it is unfortunate. Where is our MLA,MP and Mayor in this problem?:bash:

yes.....that is right....our leaders in Thrissur are not showing any interest in our transportation problems...if our traffic systems and other basic transport facilities like city buses are implemented then only there is scope for greater city and urban area devolopment plans like JNNURM.....but still i have a doubt....i think the population that u mentioned as 4 lakh is the population of our city area only...but isn't there implementation of this plan in urban agglomeration areas with a population more than 10 lakh????i saw that on their website......:?

^^yes it is the population of corporation area only. yeah, UA includes the places which have nature of urban. This may be with in corporation area and the places which are out of city. As you said Thrissur UA is 3rd largest in Kerala after Kochi and Kozhikkode , 18th largest in India. But city population is the population with in corporation area. JNNRUM is based on city population.

^^yes it is the population of corporation area only.
....our thrissur urban agglomeration has a populatoin of 18,54,783....so is there a chance of Thrissur coming under JNNURM II????

Least possibility. Because I told you, that JNNRUM is for those cities who have over 5L city population. UA does not have any kind of role in this service. In this case, Kozhikkode, Thrissur, and Kollam are not eligible for JNNRUM. But I read somewhere that the former RTO has done a feasibility study regarding the introduction of JNNRUM service, and he suggested it to start in Kunnamkulam-Thrissur route and some other routes which originates from Thrissur city.:)

ok..got it...hmm....the low floor bus service will be good if introduced in the roads of thrissur.....even if thrissur is not included in Jnnurm....but all other facilities won't be implemented....that's bad...:ohno:

Eligibility for JNNURM funds is purely based on UA population not city corporation population.

then why Calicut, Thrissur and Kollam don't get JNNRUM services? Kochi, Kozhikkode, and Thrissur are the topmost UA's of Kerala.

A Bike rally was organized in order to complete the Kannothu(near Pavaratty)-Pullazhy link highway through coal lands. There will be shortest time from Pavaratty, Chavakkad, and NH17(via Pulikkakadavu bridge) to reach city through this route. The road construction was started 10years ago,:bash: The construction of two bridges in this route is over now. Another advantage is that, this is a straight road, passing through coal land.

I AM NATIVE OF ENAMAKKAL, THRISSUR. FROM MY HOUSE ONLY 1K.M TO KANNOTH. I WENT MANY TIME THROUGH LINK ROAD WHEN I WAS THERE. IT IS ONLY METAL ROAD NOT TARRED. ROAD HAS APPROXIMATELY 20 MTR WIDTH. IT'S A NICE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF FIELDS AND KAYALS...THE HALF OF THE WORK ALREADY FINISHED BEFORE 4 YEARS. ACTUALLY FROM KANNOTH TO PULLAZHY ONLY TAKES APPROXIMATELY 8 -9 K.M .THE BALANCE WORKS ARE :
1. ONLY 3 BRIDGES IS TO MAKE IN WHICH 2 ARE VERY SMALL
2. WIDENING WORKS BALANCE OF 3 K.M OUT OF 8-9.KM
3. WIDENING OF APPROCH ROADS FROM BOTH KANNOTH & PULLAZHY

thank u frank for good peace of information. It has 20mtr width? you know the Kozhikkode road is proposed to be widen with 22ms(four line). That means Kannoth road will have that much of width(around). I hope it should be fourlined. because it is passing through paddy lands not much land acquisition is needed. But will our authorities think this? I don't know.:bash:

AT FIRST , AUTHORITIES HAVE TO WIDEN THE BOUNDARY OF CORPORATION BECAUSE NOW TRICHUR CITY IS NOT LIKE SAME AS WHEN IT BECAME AS CORPORATION. THE SUBURBAN PANCHAYATS LIKE ARIMPUR, ADAT ETC.. SHOULD BE MERGED TO CORPORATION.
IF YOU TRAVEL FROM ARIMPUR , FROM PERAMANGALAM , FROM ATHANI, FROM AMBALLUR, FROM KARUVANNUR TOWARDS THRISSUR CITY, YOU WILL HEAVY TRAFFIC AND INCREASE IN POPULATION IN STREETS AND INCREASE IN SHOPPING COMPLEX AND APARTMENT OR VILLA PROJECT..
IF IT CONSIDERS, THRISSUR SHOULD BE INCLUDE IN JNNRUM.
BUT AT FIRST, OUR AUTHORITIES SHOULD HAVE TO THINK AND SHOULD GET SOME IDEAS....

Frank, the current corporation limits are not old municipality limits. They are Chettupuzha on west, Puzhakkal on n/w, Padukkad on north, Villadam on n/e, Mullakkara(near Agri.University),Mannuthy,Nadathara, and Kuttanellore on east, Thalore on s/e, and Kanimangalam, Panamukku on South. Whenever we merge the places to corporation, certain things are to be considered. ie its proxmity to city, political parties interest, important institutions , horizontal/vertical development factors, population etc. I think , the panchayaths, you mentioned , would be merged in city in future. But before that the existing the corporation area should be developed. It can't be developed with in one or two days. see, Thrissur became corporation only 10 years ago(in 2000). The current age of Thrissur city is only 10years, ie childhood stage. So we need to improve a lot with in our current corporation boundaries.

BUT AT FIRST, OUR AUTHORITIES SHOULD HAVE TO THINK AND SHOULD GET SOME IDEAS....

I also admit with you on the above mentioned factors. But one thing is there, the rate of growth of Thrissur city is very less. I think, still, many people are not thinking that Kerala has 5 cities including Thrissur and Kollam. The main reason of this is that the Government do not concentrate on the development of these cities. For example, Kochi will get consideration as commercial and industrial capital of Kerala. Thiruvananthapuram gets consideration because it is a capital. Kozhikkode gets consideration because it is the hq of Malabar. Thrissur is only a cultural capital, which is not important for majority people(not for me:lol:). Similarly in the case of Kollam.
For example, even in news, the main cities of Kerala are only Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kozhikkode.
This should be changed. The main cities of Kerala are Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kozhikkode, Thrissur and Kollam.
So in order to develop these cities, there should have more job opportunities should be created in various sectors such as banking, IT, industries and Tourism. I think tourism , IT, banking(in which thrissur is top now) can be considered for the growth of Thrissur and Kollam. The government should start IT parks such as Technopark and big tourism projects in these cities. Then only more people will be attracted to city and our population growth can be increased. Now what is happening, majority of the young guys are going out side of the city to get the job. This situation should be changed.Infrastructural growth is a general problem of Kerala. We can not blame only on these cities only.

Another thing the corporation has to concentrate to implement proper city service. I can't understand why the legs of mayor is shivering in this matter? The media are also culprit in this situation, because they are not taking any follow up for this problem. I think, Thrissur highly needs the city services like Thiru-kochi and if jnnrum is implemented it will be an added advantage.

Thats called politics, Kozhikode was recommended twice by the government but center denied, Kozhikode and Mangalore are the major cities in south India despite being eligible for JNNURM funds is still out of it and many north Indian cities of the same size are included.

I will say it is mostly because of unluck, When JNNURM formed only Kochi was eligible from the state (as per UA population) TVM included because of another criteria - As the capital of state - (even it deosnot qualified with the population criteria) In both that cases Kozhikode lacks the qualification, (Because, according to 2001census Keralas UAs were not rally merged to each other to form bigger million + UAs)

But when Calicut reached the population limit. Centre was facing some financial crisis, so simply they had dicided not to add any new city to Jnnurm scheme :ohno:

The people will call it city if its worth calling! IMHO, Cochin, Calicut & Tvm has the urban affluence to call them cities. I don't think Thrissur can be called a city as of now. Barring the ROUND and nearby areas, most of the places inside the corporation still has a rural feel to it. The Urban sprawl need to be extended in all directions.

Yes.. For that Corporation should Look for a Big Thrissur... rather than developing place around where they sits...

Yes.. For that Corporation should Look for a Big Thrissur... rather than developing place around where they sits...

This is the same problem in the case of Kollam as well. The development is coming around only at the old municipality area which was just 18.5 sq. Kms before.

There should be proper master plan for both Trichur and Kollam. It would be better if they add Kannur and Kottayam in the list. Our state is a narrow strip of land but extend to around 600 KM from north to south. We need some 6 to 7 good cities or more across this strip rather than focussing just 2 or 3. Our geography and the look and feel is completely different from the mere barren and rural regions of other states outside their city limits.

^^I think there is no point to compare Thrissur , Kollam with Kozhikkode, Kochi and Trivandrum, because first of all this corporation has been formed only 10years ago. But all the other three corporations are formed in pre-independence period. So it will take time to reach development in all parts of areas with in corporation boundaries. It is a fact. Even those people who argues for development, will be against when there is a need to take a cent of land. For example, consider the case of Chettiyangadi-Kokkala section, where we can see narrow road. I have seen such kind of roads in other cities also. The main problem here, nobody are interested to give a single peace of land. When the former District Collector, Raju Narayanaswamy tried to evaquate these areas especially Veliyannur jn for the ring road project, a lot of people came against the land acquisition. The majority of the people who are staying on the side of this road is rich or mediocry level. But they are not interested to give a single peace of land. The result is, traffic congestion . In some times, from Koorkkanchery onwards the traffic congestion starts.ie around 2kms.:bash: These areas have to be restructured

This is the same problem in the case of Kollam as well. The development is coming around only at the old municipality area which was just 18.5 sq. Kms before.

100% true

correct. Perhaps, it will change in near future. Because it is only 10 years since Thrissur and Kollam became a corporation.I like a big Thrissur, which has all kind of development plus our cultural heritage.

THH renamed Sun Medical and Research Centre

Co-operation Minister CN Balakrishnan, MLA Therambil Ramakrishnan and Mayor IP Paul at Trichur Heart Hospital after releasing the new logo and name of the hospital yesterday.
Trichur Heart Hospital (THH) is renamed Sun Medical and Research Centre (SMC). Co-operation Minister CN Balakrishnan released the new logo of the hospital at a function held at the hospital auditorium yesterday.

In his inaugural speech, the minister said that the name change was important as people had a feeling that the hospital was exclusively for heart diseases.

But, treatments for all diseases are available at the hospital, said the minister.

Website of the hospital was inaugurated by MLA Therambil Ramakrishnan.

Managing director of Trichur Heart Hospital Ltd Prathap Varkey delivered the welcome speech.

Mayor IP Paul presided over the function and Dr Sabitha Krishnamoorthy, medical coordinator of the hospital, proposed a vote of thanks. Kannankulangara councillor Mukesh Kulaparambil felicitated the function.

Staff and students of THH were also present at the function

Frank, the current corporation limits are not old municipality limits. They are Chettupuzha on west, Puzhakkal on n/w, Padukkad on north, Villadam on n/e, Mullakkara(near Agri.University),Mannuthy,Nadathara, and Kuttanellore on east, Thalore on s/e, and Kanimangalam, Panamukku on South.

The Mannuthy CPI (M) area committee took out a march to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) office at Chembukkavu yesterday, in protest against 'unscientific' land acquisition for widening the NH from Vaniyambara to Mannuthy. More than 100 people from the area participated in the march.
The marchers demanded amendments to relevant laws to ensure that reasonable compensation is paid to all those who lose their shelters and land due to the acquisition.It also demanded compensation for the family of two kids, who died last week falling into the culvert made as part of the NH widening.
Inaugurating the dharna in front of the NHAI office, CPI(M) district committee member KV Jose said the government is taking away the land of the poor people by giving them very low prices. MO Avarachan welcomed the gathering and EM Varghese presided. KV Chandran, T Sreekumar and PS Vinayan also spoke

I'm really worried about the Kerala road in future....

I think the period from 2011 - 2017 will be our last chance to pull some new widened roads.. or it will be really late..... :(

At least, whole Puzhakkal area, Amala Nagar, Mulankunnathukavu should be added to the corporation...


I have read somewhere about the rule to add panchayaths to the corporation.:)

Blaze destroys Koothambalam

Tourism department's Koothambalam under construction at Ramanilayam was engulfed in fire yesterday. Almost the entire structure was gutted.
Suspicions galore; 'great loss to our architecture'

A fire destroyed the tourism department's Koothambalam, construction of which was nearing completion at Ramanilayam in the city, at about 4am yesterday.

The loss was estimated at around Rs 93 lakh. The total estimate of the project was Rs 1.27cr.

It was the contractors of the work who reported the fire and soon the fire force was on the scene though they could not do much. The force sources said the fire was not 'natural'.

"Normally, fire starts from one side and spreads to other areas. But, here, the ravages of the fire was seen equally on all the areas of the roof. This leads to the suspicion that it was set off deliberately," they said.

The Koothambalam construction was being managed by Sangeeta Nataka Akademi. There is no special security guard for the Koothambalam and the guard at the adjacent Jawahar Bal Bhavan dons that role. But, the Bhavan guard was on leave yesterday. So, it might have helped someone to enter and set fire to it.

East police sub-inspector Benny Jacob said a case was filed as per the complaint given by the Kerala State Construction Corporation (KSCC), which carries out the construction of the Koothambalam. The SI added that the police have started investigation.

The construction of the Koothambalam began in 2005 following the United Democratic Front government releasing funds for the project. The construction continued till 2007 and was stopped for want of funds. The work was resumed only on December 8 following the tourism department allocating some funds.

The architecture of the Koothambalam has been in charge of Vastuvidya Gurukulam, Aranmula. The roof was made with wood of moraceae (Anjily) in a special way with only 1.5cm gap between each beam. So wood was used in comparatively higher quantities for the roof. A metal sheet was spread on it and that was also completely burnt.

KSCC had given the sub-contract to contractor Wajid from Malappuram following a decision to complete the work within three months.

Former minister KP Rajendran, MLAs Therambil Ramakrishnan and VS Sunil Kumar, Inspector General of police B Sandhya, officials from the forensic department, the shadow police and the special branch also visited the spot. The dog squad was also pressed into service.

This paper had already reported on the lack of security for both Bal Bhavan and adjacent government buildings. There were allegations from the Bhavan staff that its premise and nearby areas had become a place for anti-social activities with the silent permission from the security guard and officials.

The contractors said they had found liquor bottles strewn around the construction site. All these suggest that the fire was not natural.

Kerala Sangeeta Nataka Akademi secretary PV Krishnan Nair said the fire "has wrought a great loss to Kerala".

The people will call it city if its worth calling! IMHO, Cochin, Calicut & Tvm has the urban affluence to call them cities. I don't think Thrissur can be called a city as of now. Barring the ROUND and nearby areas, most of the places inside the corporation still has a rural feel to it. The Urban sprawl need to be extended in all directions.

Malayaali, Don't underestimate Thrissur..... It was the first proper Municipality formed in Kerala (I mean native municipality), when the Ernakulam itself was nothing but a big forest..... It was the capital of Kochi, the only city that time in Native Kerala (I am not talking about British India, which includes Kozhikode and even Fort Kochi too) to be electrified, to have proper water-sewage lines and like that....The corporation of Thrissur, even today retains its historical authority over electricity, water, unlike any city of Kerala, where its done by KSEB/KWA etc....Even the historic Kochi Zoo is located in Thrissur, not in Kochi.....

Thrissur's growth is synonomous with Kochi. If Kochi grows, Thrissur will grow proportionately. Thats an unique symbotic relationship between two cities.

What I feel, is that, people must shed the attitude that an IT park is only key to urbanization. Thrissur became Kerala's first Urban, not because of IT Park, but something more valuable than that.... Gold....

The aim of Kerala should be converting Thrissur as Gold Capital of India itself, just like how Surat developed into Diamond Capital. The entire Gold held in Thrissur would be a world record, if ever disclosed, which would even be greater than London Market.

Just technopark/infopark/CSEZ, I think, whats needed for Thrissur is a Gold and Diamond Park, where Gold manufacturing done on industrial basis.... Larger gold factories, gold bullion market (something similar to Kochi's Pepper Exchange) should be the first priority industry for Thrissur.

Today, the gold business is done by SME level, which must be encouraged and packages be introduced to encourage proper start-ups in Gold-Diamond business. Thrissur's traditional Knack in business will help to succeed in this sector.

The next key area, could be Banking sector..... Thrissur scores any other district of Kerala, in financial trading... But specific focus must be made, to convert this business more larger level and into proper banking order. A financial district, if ever planned, would attract more brands and more business.... Perhaps, I see, even a second Stock Exchange is possible in Thrissur, due to its traditional and key power in capital which now run informally.

Third sector, which I feel could be likely is in trade of medicine, particular focus on Ayurvedic medicines. Already, more than 60 to 70% of Kerala's Ayurvedic Manufacturing is done at Thrissur.... But none of these industries are run with Govt patronage....

I would say, a Pharma Park, where pharmaceutical industries can establish and start production of medicines, is one area, Thrissur can score better. Presence of Kochi Airport nearby is a blessing for exports/Logistics.

Ofcourse Tourism is key industry to Thrissur, like anywhere in Kerala. Being cultural capital, its more easy to attract.....

yes, MI you made creative ideas. By establishing IT parks I intended to say the creation of job opportunities. As you mentioned above, the pharma sector is very important in the case of Thrissur.

Could you please solve my doubt? which is important city/town in the case of pharma ?

yeah, Gold and banking sector is very important in the case of Thrissur development.
Also I have a humble opinion, Thrissur corporation is made only 10 years ago. So the development are coming to the new corporation areas. Please be patient, a city can not grow with in a day or two. It is a contigous process, but we have to accelerate our momentum, Then after a 20-25 years, we can see a new face of Thrissur city.
All the cities are just like this. For example, what was the state of Kozhikkode, during 60s. What is the present condition? It has been improved. Similarly this city will also grow, as mentioned by MI, with Kochi.

Well, I said, You can build 3 or 4 IT Parks, but too difficult to build and develop 200 IT Parks across the state.....

Thrissur is already a spoke of Kochi Infopark and that will happen, but I personally feel, it won't go in a very strong way unless Kochi becomes congested.....

The good option is Gold Park, where no one can beat Thrissur. Talent is available and its more at grassroot level, hence provides more wider scope of employment.... I am not talking just Gold Business, but manufacturing of Gold in very large basis, like happening in Surat. Its around 100 years of tradition, that made Surat, world's 80% of global diamond manufacturing/polishing.... Thrissur can replicate the same model aiming to Asian Hub of Gold manufacturing.....

All it require a govt direction in that regard.....

------

In my opinion, the best place for Pharma industry is Thrissur, more than Kochi. The first reason is land availability. Thrissur has good land banks, which can be used for a Pharma Park. In Kochi, such land banks are now available only near Kottayam Side. A good Pharma Park requires airport nearby, for easy exports..... Its more easy to reach Cochin Airport from Thrissur than Kochi.

Secondly Pharma zone doesn't mean just production of English Medicines... Even cosmetics productions can be thought off.... Now a days, lot of Ayurvedic lifestyle/Cosmetic brands is increasing and a centralized production facility promoted by Kerala Govt, will be helpful. Thrissur's strong tradition in Ayurvedic production can work as a complementary support......

CM visits Lalur, but mum on waste woes

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy visiting Lalur where the corporation's waste dumping has invited protests from the residents. MLA Therambil Ramakrishnan and Mayor IP Paul are also seen.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy visited Lalur yesterday, but he did not say anything about the problem of waste dumping there.

The chief minister talked to Lalur Anti-pollution Samara Samithi members. They alleged that the waste segregation system is not properly functioning there. The samithi members demanded immediate installation of decentralised waste treatment units in the corporation area.

They also complained about the contaminated well water and the people's health problems.

The minister said many of the allegations by the samara samithi are genuine and no improvement has been made on the Lalur issue so far. However, he said, after the implementation of the decentralised waste treatment system, the problem of Lalur will be solved.

MLA Therambil Ramakrishnan, MP Vincent, Mayor IP Paul, former minister KP Viswanathan, District Congress Committee president V Balaram, Councillor of Lalur Francis Challissery, TK Vasu, Raghunath Kalingal, Unnikrishnan, Anil Lalur, CS Sreenivasan, Laly Jaims, Valsala Baburaj, district panchayat member Anil Akkara, Collector PM Francis and City Police Commissioner P Vijayan accompanied the chief minister.

The samara samithi members handed over a petition to the minister when he came to inaugurate the Peechi-Thrissur pipeline.

Very gud updates sanoj....

Will you be able to upload few pics of West fort Grand Mall and Fort Street...

When it comes to gold business thrissur is no.1 in south india.the international institute of jewellery is also in thrissur among south india. I think thrissur has most no.of bank head offices in kerala leaving cochin and tvm behind:)

See, what I would say, is developing a concerate plans on banking Gold Manufacturing and business in Thrissur in a big way

1. Establishing a mega Gold and Diamond Park SEZ, like Kochi E-City project, where national and international gold companies, engaged in manufacturing, procuring etc can develop factories here

2. A Jewellery Design and Training Institute of world class standards, including professional certified courses and higher research programs to train manpower for it attached to the park

3. Already South India's sole Gemological certification Lab is based in Thrissur which can be enlarged to more larger level

4. A gold Bullion market needed to be established in Thrissur, where Gold, Platinum, Silver and precious metals be traded as commodities

5. A Thrissur Brand of Jewellery, like Singapore Gold (18 carat) needed to be formulated and promoted intensively.

6. Much like Dubai City of Gold, a special body must be constituted in Thrissur, to promote the city as Golden City of India, with regular campaigns, promotions, branding etc.

7. A Gold Hi-Street needed to be develop and marketed as a tourist attraction in Thrissur.

When it comes to gold business thrissur is no.1 in south india.the international institute of jewellery is also in thrissur among south india. I think thrissur has most no.of bank head offices in kerala leaving cochin and tvm behind:)

Frank,where is the international institute of jwellery in thrissur?:)
Moreover, thrissur has the 3rd productivity share(9% of kerala). Only Kochi(32%), Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad(12% each) are above thrissur.
Thrissur is third city in which number of vehicle registration. Only Kochi, and Thiruvananthapuram are above Thrissur. Thrissur has the second place in the number of company registrations .Only Kochi is above, thrissur. Thrissur is also important for wood industry, behind Kozhikkode. Thrissur is famous for clay and tile industry.
As MI said, thrissur can be developed as a major Pharma hub in Kerala.
Thrissur bears top position in Jwellery and finance sector.
Thrissur is a major educational and health hub of Kerala.
More than that, I think, after Kannur, Thrissur bears second position in textile industry.

'Declare Ramanilayam a heritage site'

Public Interest Forum (PIF) Thrissur submitted a petition to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding Ramanilayam be declared a heritage site.

The petition says that Ramanilayam complex is a heritage centre which is decades old. The complex on 22 acres of land was a heritage centre till 1971. In 1974, the government took control of the complex and gave land to build Kerala State Financial Corporation building. And in the beginning of 1980s, some land was given to build Kerala State Tourism Development Corporation's Yatri Nivas also. In 2005, tourism department's Koothambalam, which was burned down on Monday, occupied an area.

VK Venkitachalam, secretary of PIF, said that Ramanilayam should be added to the archaeological department and should be preserved as a heritage centre. Now, the complex is used as a place for VIPs, mainly ministers and higher officials to stay. Ramanilayam has now come down to the level of a hotel.

The garden inside the complex is also not well maintained. Now, with the fire incident, the complex has become unattractive, the petition said.

trichur kunnamkulam is most rush rout in kerala
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wp-4pbO5oI&sns=fb

^^Thrissur -Kunnamkulam is very rush with vehicles. We can see a row of vehicles at any time here. After spending in this row , every driver will be frustrated. Because it has the speeed luke worm. This makes bus drivers to go through wrong side and drive dangerously. Another thing is that only second's gap among the bus timings. 1000s of bus including KSRTC are plying through this route. Moreover the plying trucks are very dangerous. We cannot blame the bus drivers only. I will say the more dangerous drivers are car drivers. (Pandokke bikilayirunnu chethu. ippo carilanu young generationte chettu.) This is very dangerous. So a four line route is very urgent here.

They can also use electric vehicles for transport just like in Bangalore LalBag

yeah vinod, it will be better to introduce electric vehicles to roam in the park than cycle.

Mahesh, trichur kunnamkulam was always like that- infact i learned driving in that road and when for the first time the driving school teacher asked me to take it to that road, i was virtually shivering- even back in the 80s, with buses speeding at over 100, and trucks . things have only gone bad- a genuine case for median and 4 laning. at certain stretches beyond kecheri, the road is so narrow, it is difficult to cross two vehicles if one of them is a bus. Now with shabarimala season, things would be really bad.

I think when the four line road construction is over things will be much better.:)

The people will call it city if its worth calling! IMHO, Cochin, Calicut & Tvm has the urban affluence to call them cities. I don't think Thrissur can be called a city as of now. Barring the ROUND and nearby areas, most of the places inside the corporation still has a rural feel to it. The Urban sprawl need to be extended in all directions.

Trichur; we still called it as Town, a decent clean well maintained Town.It has some draw back compared to Cochin ; like we do not have that much mosquitoes,bad smelly fully damaged dusty roads ,traffic blocks as like your great metropolis of Cochin city .
Dear friend come and see the roads in Trichur even though some are narrow, but all roads are well maintained tared roads compared to Cochin.
We will grow our on way..Trichurians are bold and committed.

^^

Dude, take my words in the right spirit. I'm not here to bash Trissur. Thanks :)

hey sinto, don't be upset man. Come on.:) Malayali is saying in his right spirit. His opinion is correct . Thrissur and Kochi can not be compared. So please don't do it. We have to grow more. It is a fact. As MI said, thrissur has several good features. But when we go to certain places, the development has not reached there. For example, Anchery, only few shops are there and good houses are there. Apart from that nothing has happened. That is Malayali saying . It is a fact.

In my opinion, the solution is 1)introduction of good city service which connects all parts of city and important institutions out of city, and the panchayaths near by city. This city service should be compulsorily live from 5a.m. to 10pm. When the election comes , then only our political leaders feel that thrissur definitely needs city service. Otherwise they don't feel it and experience it. There was city service in Thrissur. But by the political influence, the bus owners destroyed the service. Even some services still exists now. But it should be a regular one. Then only there will be much movement of people occurs. City service can also be used to go to Guruvayur, Kunnamkulam and Vatanappilly beach.

2) Shops should be closed at after 9.p.m. This must be compulsory.
3) Corporation authorities should do the development activities by considering city altogether.
4)Thrissur will develop , after all time is an important factor.(this is only a 10 year old city)
5)State's consideration to open wider industrial investment such as Gold park, IT park, etc.
6)Thrissur city definitely needs good traffic signals at important junctions. Since the corporation authorities do not install it properly, the passengers, drivers and traffic policemen also are in deep trouble.

Another thing is that You also mentioned that Thrissur is called as town. You have to change it. It is city now. So you have to say thrissur as city by words.

Sorry !What should i do to make it visible, to all ?,When i post these pictures its visible to be so i thinks its visible to every one...so teach me how to post a pic ! i usually upload the pic in picasa web album and use this pic link and paste it ryt here

Why?

Aslesh, almost in every city (in Kerala) it will be opened upto 9pm. But in Thrissur case, these shops (i mean major shops) will be closed before 8pm. It is a regular manner which was followed from old days. Another reason may be that, unlike other cities in kerala, the workers in the shops are coming from far away such as Chavakkad, Vatanappilly. . Even Kozhikkode, the shops will be remained open 9pm,10pm etc. Then what is the result? City will be live upto that hours at least. Then if city service is upto 10pm, it will be convenient for workers also.

Kozhikode the shops may open till 11PM or even further, it doesnt mean that Thrissur too must follow, unless there is business. Thrissur is almost deserted after 8, then why should people open their shops, this is not same in the case of Kozhikode or Kochi or even Kannur.

the main reason of people are not coming to shop, is that, they are aware, that after 8pm, there won't have any shops. But if the shops were opened, I am sure that they will be there. This is an established truth. For example, there were no shops opened on sundays here. But now muslim shop owners opened their new shops, people come to city and purchase the things. now we can get all things on sunday. So I think, if corporation authorities made strict rule, even though initially there may be some problems from shop owners, it will be okayed later.
Sanju, another interesting factor is that , the shops of newly added corporation areas will be opened upto 9pm-9.30pm. For example, in my place Ayyanthole, the shops will be closed(i mean there are some photostat shops because of civil station, which will be closed little bit earlier) at 9-9.30pm. So the lack of willingness is main issue. Another issue, the labours are coming from far away

But corporation cant pass such a law, and it will be funny if they passed anything such.

^^that is also a point. But with out enforcement, I think it may not be workable.

Okay I thought you are asking them to close at 9 pm when they actually close after that.

]Going waste
Abandoned commercial tax complex in Poothole.
Tax complex stays unused
[/COLOR]


LEAKING roofs, cracked walls and unhealthy conditions are common scenes at government offices. But in Thrissur, the Commercial Taxes Department, a the major revenue generating department, has a different story to tell.

On February 26, former finance minister Thomas Issac opened the commercial taxes complex at Poothole with fanfare. The building was supposed to house all the 12 divisions of the department in Thrissur. Until today, not a single office functions there and the building seems to have been abandoned!

Currently, the sales tax offices are scattered in three buildings - the collectorate, a private building at West Fort and the Cochin Devasom Board building at Round north.

The Kerala High Court has already issued orders to the department to vacate from the Devasom building where the department pays Rs 25,000 as rent each month. On one end, the rent and other expenses are being paid while the other end sees a huge dead investment.

The new building, big enough to accommodate all offices, was touted as a great boon to tax payers and practitioners.

Thrissur Tax Practitioners Association secretary PV Vinod said: "The building sits on 98-cent plot. The design and construction is good. It gave us a new lease of hope. Currently we have to spend a whole day to meet various officers at different parts of the city."

All the offices in one building would have improved productivity, he said. The record rooms in the new complex would have speeded up retrieval of files and the ample parking would have helped visitors.

Around Rs 2cr has been spent on constructing the building. KITCO, the constructors, has withdrawn from the contract due to certain payment disputes. But the government has not allotted the work to another contractor, it is learnt.

Commercial Taxes deputy commissioner in Thrissur, Soman said: "We are trying our best to forward the papers and release the required funds. About Rs 2cr more is needed for the electrical and interior works. The state government needs to take action."

^^ofcourse, this is an eye-opener. But, Frank, whenever you give news like above, you have to give the source(link) of the news.

Mahesh, very true. there used to be a time when i was in trichur in the 80s, major shops like chakolas (High road) fashion fabrics (MO road) etc used to stop customers after 6.30. Shops used to pull down shutter by 7- almost all -even medical shops. Infact the reason why trichur doesnot have a night life or even an evening life is that there is no city service- people find it difficult to get a bus after 7.30. so even for someone in the nearby panchayats, if they dont have a car or scooter, they cannot shop beyond 6 or 6.30. Now when i come home on leave, i see atleast there are several shops open upto 8 pm- it may also be true that even though it is converted to a city, people are still mentally of a small town and to top it all the famous hypocrisy of malayalees- still doesnot permit the late evenings (except in cochin).

It's sheer commitment

TP Prakash
By Sanju Soman

In an interview with City Journal, TP Prakash, son of TS Pattabhiraman, chairman of Kalyan Silks, spoke about his aspirations for the silks empire. Excerpts:

Kalyan has a history of more than 100 years. Tell us something about the foundation of Kalyan Silks.

We had humble beginning. Way back in 1909, my great grandfather TS Kalyanram Iyer had setup a small textile shop. This was taken over by my grandfather TK Sitaram Iyer. It was only in 1992, the brand Kalyan Silks was set up by my father TS Pattabhiraman. Till then, it kept running under the family name. In 1992, we moved out of a small town shop of 400 sqft to grow into 11 outlets today.

Most of the old names in the industry have almost vanished. How did Kalyan survive?

Yes, when Kalyan Silks was set up, there were many names which were synonymous with textiles. My father believes simple work philosophies build great ventures. The hard work he put in during the initial stage has proved to be the winning formula.

They say behind every successful man there is a woman. Is there any lady from the family who's involved in the business?

Not as of now.

Does Kalyan Silks have designers to create exclusive collections for the outlets?

Kalyan Silks is the only one in the industry who can authoritatively say, "We have our own master weavers designing exclusively for Kalyan at a string of looms across the country."

We have our designing centres at Vanavasi, Mubarakpur, Thankavalli and Kanchipuram where thousands of master weavers bring magical creations in silks to life exclusively for Kalyan Silks.

What are the core values that drive Kalyan Silks forward?

Our motto is to provide silks that nobody else can give, at prices nobody else can even think of. Kalyan Silks owes its ever-growing popularity to this never changing motto.

Kalyan Silks has just launched its latest showroom in Dubai. Something about it.

The new showroom in Karama is a 6000- sqft showroom. It has been set up targeting the upper middle class and upper class customers and is going to be a classic showroom with exclusive designs. We will be having one floor exclusively for women with wedding and designer sarees. Men's collection will be in the next level. Kasavu, the Kalyan brand ethnic wear, will be a highlight. In all, it is going to be a showroom with more of an ethnic touch.

After launching in the Malabar region, we felt the love people have for our brand. Customers have told us they even shop for their wedding on the way from the airport. It was these customers who gave us the strength to take to decision and today Kalyan Silks proudly has its first showroom abroad.

What are the expansion plans?

We have identified certain other spots in the UAE where we wish to launch soon. Apart from that, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore will be the next global destinations.

We have heard that Kalyan Silks will be soon launching a mall. Is it so?

Yes, it's true. Discussions are on. Once things are confirmed, it will be announced.

Where is it planned?

Thrissur is our homeland. We will be starting the mall in Thrissur only.

Any competition?

There is no competition for Kalyan. Everyone is here to do business so we enjoy healthy competition between peers.

What is the employee strength of Kalyan Silks?

We currently have more than 4,000 employees.


What is the current turnover of Kalyan? And what is the projected turnover for next year?

We currently have a turnover of Rs 500cr. For next year, we will just have to wait and watch.


Any plans to venture into other businesses?

Yes, we will soon be venturing into the education and hospitality industry.

We are planning to set up a school without a business motive. It will be a school influenced by the Gurukul system of teaching where-in the child gets complete development. We want to provide the best possible education without the hype of international schools like having horse rides or golf courts. It will most probably be established in Thrissur.

I'm sure Thrissur Facelift will be soon seen.... But we need an era just like what happened to cochin after 2001 to till date.. Thrissur or Calicut was able to be compared to Cochin commercially but the sudden growth of the later after 2001 made it into a different league..

I can see a similar growth in Calicut now... Hopefully era of Thrissur in Kerala State can be expected soon...

City is now growing towards the outskirts. the car showrooms moving towards the Mannutty bye-pass is a very good sign...

Now we need Mannutty to grow with more government buildings, Market, bus stands etc which helps the people in Puthur, Pattikadu or Marathakkara can avoid coming to the city for each and everything.... But these kind of decentralisation towards all corners of the city will help us to achieve a BIG Thrissur

Yes, Early closing of shops in Thrissur is mainly due to lack of City Service.. We had to do the same when we had a shop earlier... Workers will not be able to go to the near by villages.... so huge employee shops like chackolas have to close it early.... As thrissur is not a coastal city.. Services have to be their in all around the city...

With City Bus service and Mall culture can change this situation....

I have found the trend is changing in most of the cities in Kerala. I have seen shops opened till 9 PM atleast at Kollam except for the Jewellery shops as they close by 8 PM. The commerical areas at Kollam including the Main Road, Beach Road, and Bishop Jerome Nagar are active till 9 PM. I think there are specific reasons for this as the Cinema Halls in the city, Beach as well as the railway and bus stations are very close to the shopping centres. Moreover Kollam has a pretty good city bus service (Private - Blue buses) that operates till 10 PM and some even upto 10:30 PM from Chinnakkada.

Yes... Thrissur has to get some real City bus service.... :cheers:

^^

It depends on the situation during day time. Night shopping is required only if the situation demands. If i take the example of Cochin, i have to say that we will lose a full day for a festive shopping. The heavy traffic, crowd all over, make it worse. But when it comes to night shopping, its as pleasant as sitting in your living room, you can drive through the city highways with ease, hardly any rush @ outlets. Its up to the people having vehicle with them to postpone all their purchase to night, so that others won't feel the rush during day time.

Btw, you are talking about normal outlets to be open till 10. All that depends on the proprietor! No one else can help.

Vinod, this is partly true- i don't know much about the new generation of trichur- as there is a certain element of disconnect with the city with most of my friends like me are away working in other parts of india and abroad. Trichur probably had one of the earliest malls- city centre- and that too a good one when even delhi hardly had any. but unfortunately there hadn't had another one where as other cities had multiple malls and multiplexes- the other one centre stage mall was a big flop. somehow i find trichurians still feel trichur means round- and nothing at all. this attitude has to go if the city has to grow. the biggest boon of the city is round, but it should not be the biggest bane for the development and growth of the city.
Swaraj round can be compared with connaught place of delhi. But there the beautification always hit roadblocks on either funds or on religious sentiments. A beautiful fountain near distt hospital was installed by south indian bank in the 80s but this was defunct for several years on the grounds of religious sentiments. and last time when i was there, i found the dismantling of the structure. May be we malayalis are prejudiced, biased or outright hypocrites.

^^

The problem with Thrissur traffic is that most of the roads connecting the ROUND is narrow. So people has a tendency to stay within the round for their purchases and this makes the investors not to opt out of ROUND, which may affect their business.

^^I don't think so. because the only main narrow roads which are connected to swaraj round, are Kuruppam road and Shoranur road. M G Road, K N Road, Palace Road, College Road ,and M O Road have sufficient width. The other main road , High Road is narrow only near to the Hospital Junction. All the other roads are not considered as main roads, they are considered only link roads or by roads.
Every one is blaming about the road width. Actually only few main roads are narrow in city.

The above mentioned roads and Patturaikkal-bye pass road, Ring road, Guruvayur road, Nethaji road, Chiyyaram road, Kanjani road, Punkunnam-Chembukkavu road have sufficient width.
Majority of roads have sufficient width for two lane traffic.

Hari, you are correct. The main thing to improve city life is introduction of city service which should be active upto 10.p.m., and opening of shops upto 9pm etc. Whenever these things are happened, I can ensure you, the face of Thrissur city will change.

There is some significant development is happening in the paliakkara-mannuthy bypass road.lot of car showrooms already in.more to come.until highway was in two lane,there was hardly any development.it is a good sign for thrissur 'city'.

Kalyan plans for a Shopping mall in Thrissur :banana::banana: Come on Kalyan with a fantastic mall. Help Thrissur to grow more.

enough with the wedding centre and silk saree showrooms- the city has more no of it that what is viable. if they plan to open mall, it is good news- may be clubbed with a multiplex. here in delhi old style theatres are almost all gone now. it is the era of smaller multiplexes with flexible show timing. it is high time we start shopping differently. but most surprisingly, kerala used to be a consumer society, but haven't found any Mcdonalds and pizza hut there.

don't worry, 7 screen multiplexes are coming at PVR here in Shobha city. Dominoz will start their outlet at East Fort with in couple of months. All others may come soon.
McDonald is coming to Kozhikkode
I think Pizza hut is functioning in two places in Kochi . One is in D H Road and the other one is in Gold Souk, Vyttila

Mc is not yet started in Kozhikode, It was KFC which opened there recently. but Mc Donald is also looking a place near KFC in Calicut. We don't have a Pizza hut either.

I know in the case of Pizza hut, which is only at Kochi. But I have read in the previous thread, that McDonald is coming to Calicut. That's why I posted it.

Please cross post the above posts to the thread Thrissur Shobha city

Please post the picture of Shobha city mall in Shobha city thread.

does any one know, what is the total square feet of Lulu shopping mall at Kochi?
Shobha city mall has the square feet of 600,000 square feet.

That's big! Bigger than any other Mall in the state as of now and shall solve the void of next gen shopping in Thrissur.

Lulu is thrice the size of Sobha Mall.

What's the status? Is it u/c?

Mahesh, How far the thighs have progressed in the Mall front in shobha city? Last time when i passed thru that road, i could see some tall structures and some villas near the lake which is not visible, and no other structure. Also, trichurians have to be mentally city dwellers, shed the inhibition of shopping in areas other than round and adjoining areas, otherwise this mall will also have the same fate as that of centre stage. Mahesh, talking of night life, trichur even don't have evening life- frankly.

Moreover I have given its floor plan at Shobha city thread. Please go through it.

I think shobha city mall is under constructin. It is on the lake side and at middle of the Shobaha city

that will be an old story, Hari. don't think always negatively. when this kind of things are coming, let us hope for the best, a new face will come. :)

Aslesh, almost in every city (in Kerala) it will be opened upto 9pm. But in Thrissur case, these shops (i mean major shops) will be closed before 8pm. It is a regular manner which was followed from old days. Another reason may be that, unlike other cities in kerala, the workers in the shops are coming from far away such as Chavakkad, Vatanappilly. . Even Kozhikkode, the shops will be remained open 9pm,10pm etc. Then what is the result? City will be live upto that hours at least. Then if city service is upto 10pm, it will be convenient for workers also.

In fact, there should be 24hours bus services atleast on main routes from Thrissur, like those to Kodungallur, Guruvayur, Vadanappally, Triprayar, etc. Thrissur being almost at the centre of the state, most trains from far off places reach Thrissur around 1~2 in the night - there is absolutely no form of public transportation at that hours.

Take the case of trains to Malabar - all the night trains come to Thrissur past midnight (in both directions), and passengers are forced to stay at the station till bus services begin, or hire a cab/auto. While shops should remain open after 8pm, I would not accept your suggestion of the shops closing compulsorily after 9pm. If there is a decent bus service throughout night, shops can remain open till they are legally permitted.

In Thrissur district, bus services shut stop invariably by 8~9pm. With the city growing, such a bus service is a shame.

Another point is that, there should be a well-established bus service between the town centre and Mannuthy - with the development of the highway, more and more buses (especially private long distance guys like Kallada/Shama, etc) would go via the bypass. Getting to the town from the bypass is a real nightmare after 7~8pm and before 6am. There should be enough point-to-point services on that route.

Sakthan bus station should be developed in a bigger way - like the one in Kannur. It should be an integrated bus stand for Private and KSRTC buses, providing seamless connectivity for passengers traveling by bus.

^^

People will go there if it offers the visitors to spend or pass out their time. A mutiplex, food court, a cool atrium, a big tenant, a leisure area will do the cause. I think these were not available in centre stage or point, whatever!

I also support your valuable points Binaik. yeah, binaik, If we have good city service and mofussil bus service upto 10pm. Then the shops should be opened upto 9-10pm. I think this will be changed when mall culture comes to city.
I think our corporation authorities , MLA and MP should work hard for this. It is not only facilitate Thrissur city, but also the near by towns like Irinjalakkuda, Kodungallur , Kunnamkulam and Guruvayur
etc can also be affected.

In my opinion, Thiru-Kochi Service should start from Thrissur city as a city service. The JNNRUM BUS service should be implemented in Thrissur-Kunnamkulam-Guruvayur route , Thrissur-Irinjalakkuda-Kodungallur , and Thrissur-Chalakkudi route.

I SUPPORT THIS COMMENT...THESE ROUTES ARE VERY RUSH AND CONNECT OTHER TOWN TO TRICHUR CITY.

I Guess 1M is total builtup and 7.5 is total retail area. Thier website (http://www.hilitebuilders.com/hilite_mall.php) is not clear about any .

I don't know mahesh whether u remember it, but when shaktan bus stand was conceived, it was in the line of Majestic of Bangalore. And where it ended up? most of the bus stands came up later are far superior than shaktan. even now every year we find new promises from corporation in annual budget of city services and shaktan complex and all , but nothing really is happening there. In trichur development is restricted to some new residential complexes coming up haphazardly at several places so that from an areal point of view would give a look of a developing city. even small towns like palghat has numbered townbuses as back as 80s. Tirchur used to have red cochin style red buses once upon a time. not anymore. and circular buses are being launched for last more than a decade. i don't know what is holding back authorities from launching city services-may be car showrooms are coming up in puzhakkal or mannuthi area , but that wont really develop those areas unless u have other commercial and residential establishments. as malayali had once said, except for the old trichur town, most of the newly added places still don't look like part of a city. Well lets hope things will change in the next decade.

^^Shakthan Thampuran Bus stand is very big stand , there is no doubt. After the creation of Sakthan Thampuran Nagar new office and hospitals and Hotels, and several commercial establishments are started and they are running successfully also. The main problem of that area is the modernisation of market. It is a lot of years, since the corporation authorites assigned the work to Enarc constructions and they have created very good plans. But the main problem is the lazyness of corporation authorities. Corporation can not be blamed alone here. Media are also culprits.
They are creating news for necessary and unnecessary events. But nobody is trying to folllow up the news to implement any projects here. This is the same case of the satellite city project at Puzhakkal. No grass has been cut off there. In the last corporation, they had tried to implement a Sakthan Square on the northerside of ring road. which is very essential. If it was constructed, all the conventions can be done there. Thrissur will get an convention centre from the part of corporation.what happened to it? The present corporation denied that project. The Government projects are getting delayed due to this kind of political gimmicks.
KSRTC has asked this place to construct their workshop with bus stand facilities. I think the corporation has sanctioned it after a cold war between two state government organizations, KSRTC and Thrissur corporation.
I think the present mayor Mr. I P Paul is clearly a useless fellow. He does nothing. where is new new projects? Similarly he did not take any kind of initiative to establish Poonkunnam Satellite city project. If it was established, there will be a bus stand, shopping complexes etc.
You know, the puzhakkal padam area consists of Knowledge park of 100acres. They have constructed the wall there. The main projects lagging are of Corporation and state government. No Private projects have been lagged there. they have being worked successfully here.

What about the Kokkalai Fly over project? There was fund, which has been sanctioned by the previous government for the implementation of Kokkalai Fly over. It will start from Sakthan Thampuran Nagar and passes over Kokkalai Jn and Railway Station reaches near Caulvary Road area. So when it was implemented several bus and other big and small vehicles can run over it and reach West Fort Jn with short period of time. It will reduce the traffic blocks at Divanji Corner and KSRTC jn. The present useless mayor alotted it to NATPAC to study about the importance of Fly overs in city. So they are only studying now. Now this kind of study will never end. It will go just like the marriage of Ganpathy.
The Kokkalai flyover is an urgent thing to implemented. Where is media to follow up this?, where is political leaders to implement this?
Have you thought about the condition, when the Poothole over bridge is broken? Entire Thrissur city will suffocate. The corporation did not modify that bridge. There is no side paths on the connection roads to Poothole bridge. It is luck that no vehicles falling down from that road on night.

So Hari, Governments projects of Kerala is just like this. :bash::bash: So better to have private participation. They will implement the projects with in time if they got sanction.

I think there should have some rule that The mayor should give explanation to the people regarding the implementation of Corporation Projects once in a year. He should answer the queries raised by people. Then only a further move for corporation/state government projects occur

Very rightly pointed out Mahesh. I don't know since when we have been hearing about the flyover of ring road at kokkalai. The very promises made by mayor in the last budget is by far totally impracticable- it is not even possible in five years- considering the rate at which things happen out there. Here just imagine- 160 Kms of express highway between Noida and agra- constructed in 4 years time by mayawati along with full development of the surrounding areas and the most modern formula -1 race track. she may be corrupt, but she makes things happen. something like our old karunakaran. our model road is another example. the idea of regional bus stands at west fort , punkunnam, east fort etc. was conceived back in the 70s. I think some progress was tried by raju narayanaswami, like demolition and expansion of west fort junction. But with his exit , things came to a standstill. probably even in cochin the government involvement is very limited compared to private participation. i think long back in 70s one municipal chairman was very pragmatic and did so many good things to trichur ( i think he was therattil J antony). - like sodium lights, park renovation etc. we need somebody like him.

Gold Souke,Kalyan Mall,Grand Mall are upcoming Malls @ Thrissur !! isint that enough for Thrissur ? and more to come..its on the way

Gold Souke,Kalyan Mall,Grand Mall are upcoming Malls @ Thrissur !! isint that enough for Thrissur ? and more to come..its on the way

Grand Mall is not mall Libin, it is only a posh shopping complex. Gold Souke had already plan to start a mall in city. But there after no news from their side. Kalyan management is on discussion to construct a mall in Thrissur city. :)

Comparison to HiLite mall, look at Simplicity's post.

According to the previous corporation, the plan to construct fly over over Kokkalai jn not over ring road. Actually this area more comfortable to build the flyover than Veliyannur. There is only few land acquisition is needed. The veternary hospital should be shifted to some other parts(Recently ollur MLA claimed that there will have a super veternary hospital in the city) So it can be moved there. Only less land acquisition is needed. I think the T B Road which has not been done any thing on the northern side, are kept for the construction. So there needs only less land acquisition compared to Veliyannur area.

I think we have to get the great Administrators like Raju Narayanaswamy. Karunakaran was there. But we can't bring back him now:lol: So we need the great administrator Raju Narayanaswamy as Collector and minister like K P Rajendran.

HiLite mall is about 7.5 lakh sq. ft.. Then how come Shobha mall which is 6 lakh sq. ft. become MUCH bigger than HiLite mall???

Guys......u can't just be sure if the multiplex by pvr is coming ....i saw that it was mentioned by someone at sobha city thread...but the wikipedia one we cannot completely believe coz anyone can edit those wikipedia pages.........but still keeping my fingers crossed........:)

^^No, there were already reports regarding PVR's arrival. Since its construction is not over, they did not mention it in their site. That's all. However, in Shobha mall's picture they reveal that there will have multiplex theatres. PVR is spreading into 40 cities including Thrissur and Kochi.

Guys......u can't just be sure if the multiplex by pvr is coming ....i saw that it was mentioned by someone at sobha city thread...but the wikipedia one we cannot completely believe coz anyone can edit those wikipedia pages.........but still keeping my fingers crossed........:)

And initially Sobha Mall projected 4 Screen Multiplex but Wiki update about PVR refers to 7 and so do the new Sobha city Site... Anyways PVR is not that amazing Multiplex... We just need a 7 screen Multiplex to serve Thrissur Needs...

I could like to see Ragam Theatre Upgraded to 4K (Video) with 3D and Meyer Sound - EXP (Audio) like Urvashi Theatre Bangalore...

Adding to it ....There will be a huge demand in Thrissur if one can get a Movie watching experience similar to Urvashi.....

Anyways PVR is not that amazing Multiplex
I could not get you Vinod. What does this mean?

I could not get you Vinod. What does this mean?

I don't see much difference if it is PVR or Cinemax or Inox or Cinepolis or Fame or Gopalan or Big

I will grade it comparing the price and quality like below...

Cinepolis - Fame - Inox - Gopalan - PVR - Cinemax and so on.. It might be different for others.... :cheers:

does Inox have multiplex in Kerala?
I think existing Bindu Theatre should be demolished, instead , a good mall which contains a good multiplex theatre should be constructed there.
Three advantages are there, then,
1.We get good mall and good theatre
2.Whenever a mall is constructed , the S K V C junction will be live always.
3.Criminal activities can be avoided.

Beautification project awaiting council nod

Around 200 flower pots to be set up at Swaraj Round

for a lease period of 12 years

The corporation council will discuss the project report submitted for the beautification of the city today and take a decision on the project's approval.

According to the beautification project by a contractor, 200 flower pots will be installed at the inner footpath of Swaraj Round.

The contractor offered Rs 2.24 lakh as lease amount for a period of 12 years.

Public works department has already advised the corporation to grant sanction for the project, but without obstructing traffic or pedestrians. PWD sources said around 5,600sqft will be covered by flower pots.

But even before the corporation's approval for the move, allegations have been made, saying that the flower pots could be used for advertisements of commercial establishments and the contractor is interested in huge revenue from advertisements.

Councillor Adv MP Sreenivasan said councillors were reportedly bribed for getting approval for the project.

He pointed out the lease period of the project is longer and now it is a question whether the corporation has the right to approve such a project. Sreenivasan said the project would create trouble for pedestrians and he is opposed to any such move in the cit

Yes Mahesh, Bindu theatre (former Matha) has lived its life. As such it is in a large area and within close proximity to west fort, it is ideal for a mall cum multiplex. I don't know who owns it right now, if it is the same old group then they are mired in some legal battle.

Frank when will we keralites stop seeing corruption in everything. probably we are mentally so corrupt we look for corruption everywhere. if the contractor makes money thru advertisement then what is the harm. at this rate the electric posts are also given for advt. so they should also be dismantled. truly god save our country and city.

Hari, this is the plan made for Modern sakthan Market, by Enarc builders.(Available from Enarc's site)

Looks amazing- but will it ever materialize? or die its own natural death on paper like so many other good projects?
