Ya, right, if you go by rules of SSC indian forum, you should give English translation of news that is posted in other languages. Anyway here it is not news quote. it is a post. It is ok once in a while. But yes, others will loose interest.

Which is the newspaper? Deshabhimani or janayugham. Any way a good comic article:lol:

There are lots of development happening in Kannur especially the last 3 or 4 years in Real Estate, Tourism, apart from the Air Port and Cargo Port.

It is nice to see that the northern part of Keral is also developing. Kasargod should also get a good share. Development should be there at the length and breadth of the state not just Ernakulam or Trivandrum.

If you look at the culture, resource, population and other basic amenities, all the important cities in Kerala (The major 7 cities like Kochi, Kollam, Kannur, Kozhikode, Kottayam, Trivandrum and Trichur, all are at same par).

You can see a huge difference in population between the major city or capital city of other states compared to the second string cities there. Take the case of Bangalore and Mysore, or Hydrabad and Vishakapatnam, or Chennai or Coimbatore. The difference in population is more than 30 Lakhs. So, definitely the major share of the development and allocation will go to the big city.

But in the case of Kerala, the population difference between Ernakulam or Trivandrum with the 2nd tier cities like Kannur, Kollam or Trichur is less than 5 Lakhs.

That means the development and budget allocation should be fair and square rather than focussing on one or two cities.

Kerala to set up 2400 MW super thermal plant in Kasargode
Thiruvananthapuram , Feb 4 Kerala Cabinet today approved the proposal to set up a 2400 MW coal-based super thermal power plant at Cheeemeni in Kasargode district in north Kerala.
The project was envisaged as a joint venture project of Kerala State Electricity Board and State Industrial Development Corporation, Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan told reporters here.

About 2000 acres of land in the possession of Plantation Corporation would be made available for the project, he said.

The cabinet also decided to provide guarantee to financial institutions for availing a loan Rs 250 crore for acquiring land to the greenfield airport in Kannur.

This pics were taken before the inaugration, and I had been to this bus terminal
after the inaugration and seen the presence of many private security guards in the terminal. since it is built on BOT basis I think terminal is under control of KK builders for next 29 years . With increasing number of terror activities in India/Kerala you got to be careful when you take pics of bus terminal like this,and especially in a place like Kannur where people reacts very fast:cheers:

Dear Aslesh

Could you please tell me the difference between a Mall and a Shopping Complex becoz you said that Payyannur Mall looks like a shopping complex. I do not know the difference, hence my doubt. Kindly clarify.

Rgds
TKR

The meaning is the SAME.

But in real terms a Mall is much more than a shopping complex, and it will have more facilities than mere shops (like Multiplex, Food courts, Recreational facilities etc)
It’s easy to say as any Mall can be called as a shopping complex, but all shopping centers can’t be called as Malls.

But who cares….just like every movie in asianet or surya is termed as Blockbuster movie.. ha ha

Aslesh

simpliCITY

February 23rd, 2009, 12:21 PM

hence there is not a clear definition available
most probably the term shopping mall is applied to centraly airconditioned enclosed retail structures. while shopping centre usually refers to open-air retail complexes
And other all facilities mentioned by Aslesh is not a must for a shopping mall.

Aslesh

February 23rd, 2009, 03:31 PM

You mean if the shops face outside it is shopping complex and if shops face inside with centralised A/C then its shopping mall? ;)

simpliCITY

February 23rd, 2009, 04:28 PM

NO but YES.

in a practical way the above statement is right - Ithink.

Aslesh

February 23rd, 2009, 04:57 PM

Thalassery "Harbour City" is centralised A/C but shops face both outside and inside. They term it as a "shopping center". Kannur and Thalassery City Centers are not centralised A/C but have all sort of shops facing inside and have modern facilities like capsule lifts, escalators etc. Are they malls or shopping complex? Is centralised A/C a must for a shopping mall? Now I am confused. We need some standard definition for this terms.

scorpiogenius

February 23rd, 2009, 06:56 PM

^^ Wikipedia tells you there are NO differences. Read here. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shopping_mall) :)

Here is an answer someone has given in Wikianswers (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_a_shopping_center_and_a_mall), but it seems vague. I believe it is also vastly dependent on the region of the world. Whatever, if the developer christens it "mall", then its a mall. So Payyanur Mall is a mall, and Payyanur shopping complex is not one. :lol::lol:

Simple enough!

shyjuraja

February 24th, 2009, 06:55 AM

I meant it wont be like those malls which we see in metro cities like bangalore. Means those having all those branded shops, multiplex, etc. Yes still we can call it a mall since they have named it so. Here is their website http://payyanurmall.com/

Asleh Payyanur Mall looks big as per their website. I think the difference between Mall and Shopping complex is not Big at all. Earlier the termn is shopping complex and now the term is changed as Mall and the changes is effected in the facilities also. All is a part of changing world.

The company has several completed and ongoing projects in Kozhikode and Kochi and is planning to enter the Kannur market.

PVS Apartments will soon be launching an extremely prestigious luxury residential complex in a premium location of Kannur city. Given the fast pace of growth of Kannur city as well as the premium locality in which the residential complex is located, the company is confident that these well designed, aesthetically pleasing apartments will represent an extremely good investment opportunity for the future.

4. Seawind 13F
5. Korjan Heights
6. Seascape
7. Zedplus - Markbuilders 14F
8. Aquamarine - Alfaone
9. Raja Samudra
10. Sea Pearl - Raja Builders
11. Rainbow Seashells
Actually these apartments are scattered over that place. There is no line up like calicut beach road. Also projects except those at Thana, Talap and Caltex are all close to the sea. So the projects near SN park, city, ayikkara all will add to the sea side skyline.

This is the arun's photo you had posted earlier
http://i44.tinypic.com/b6spl3.jpg
Look not all of them are really close to sea. They just market it as sea view apartments. From a distance they seem to be lined up bcos no body want their project to come behind another one. In that case they will miss the sea view which they are cashing upon.

Thanx for the update krishna.

You're welcome mate. BTW, is the use of laterite stone the secret behind the sppedy construction in the Malabar area? Highrises are sprouting like mushroom in Malabar whereas here, especially in Kottayam, the pace is not that much.

Yes... I also had seen it in todays newspaper... But the thing is, i hope its not a township like the ones in trivandrum and Kochi... Its just like an apartment project having 10-15 floors, i think....:)
It's a township dude.It's clearly mentioned in their website and plans are afoot to introduce the concept of Green townships in other cities viz. Calicut, Kottayam, Coimbatore etc.

They aren't bricks. They are laterite stones. Its widely available in this area. It is used for all sort of buildings ranging from small houses to huge high rises. I remember earlier we had a discussion over this with our moderator Sudheeshji.

Perfectly right, it is none other than the perfect use of locally available material. Malabar area has subsoil which is laterite in nature. Stones can be cut easily from them. You can see similar use in Mangalore too.

Babu, hollow cement bricks are common because it can be made easily, unlike brick kilns which have lot of environmental impacts and local resistances.

Bricks are the most workable, hollow blocks the least, and laterite stones are comparatively heavy. Anyway we cannot have 100% hollow cement blocks, brick is also needed.

Krishna, speed of construction doesnot get changed much in any case.

In short, in all highrise constructions, since the load bearing is done by the columns & beams, the filler materials like these do not have much significance.

You mean Cost? or Coast?

If it is cost, I think laterite stones could be cheaper since locally available. BTW there would not be much cost difference when the overall project cost is considered. My feeling is that it has to do more with the easy availability.

KSIDC draws up plans for Kannur

Staff Reporter
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) initiatives for its industrial growth centre (IGC) have charted a new course in the development of Kannur, with the district all set to become an investment destination for small and medium enterprises.
The IGC, located at Valiyavelicham, 6 km from Koothuparamba town, is spread over 101.17 hectares.
Basic infrastructure is being created at the centre by the Union and the State governments, a release from the KSIDC said.
The KSIDC has earmarked separate parks for apparel and other small-scale units.
Maryan Apparel (P) Ltd., a fully export-oriented unit, has started functioning at the Apparel Park, providing employment to 1,000 people. The number of those on the pay roll is expected to rise to 1,500 by July.
The KSIDC plans to increase the built-up area inside the Apparel Park to attract more textile units.
Rubco, a cooperative initiative in the State, has started two divisions for the manufacture of slippers, cycle tyres and tubes. Fitz Fashion, a garment making unit, has signed an agreement with the KSIDC to start a hosiery unit. The unit is expected to begin operations by June this year.
The KSIDC has started widening the Koothuparamba-Valiyavelicham approach road, which has been a bottleneck. It will also set up a working women’s hostel at the IGC.
Work on setting up an 11-kV sub-stationis on at the centre.

The alignment of kannur bypass will be like this. The bypass will start from pappinissery chungam. Then it will move east wards across the valapattanam river. (The new four lane valapattanam bridge will be much longer than the existing bridge. We will get a closer view of the islands like aron thuruth.) Then the bypass will go close and parallel to the kattambally river. At many places like puluppikadavu we may get an excellent view of the river. After that it will cross kannur-mattannur road near mundayad substation. Then passing through elayavoor it will join with thazhe chovva - nadal bypass near old kizhuthalli bridge. It will be sharing a major portion of chovva - nadal bypass. But instead of joining near nadal railway gate it will be joining the existing NH near the edakkad U.P school.

Edakkad, Chala, Mundayad and Papinissery will become major junctions. Bypass will lead to the development of lesser developed places like kattampally, mundayad etc. All the roads and junctions which connects the existing NH with the bypass will become major spots of development.

Kannur airport: company to be floated

Special Correspondent

KANNUR: Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said here on Monday that a company would be floated for mobilising investments for developing the proposed Kannur airport, near Mattannur, as a greenfield project with private participation.

Inaugurating the distribution of compensation for land acquired for the airport project at a function at Mattannur, Mr. Balakrishnan said the company would be floated this month and the work will begin this year. The private participation in the airport project sanctioned by the Union government would be in accordance with Central norms, he said adding that an Information Technology city and export and import facilities were also being planned as part of developing the airport. The proposed airport conceived as a project with private participation was being planned as a state-of-the-art facility, he added.

Stating that the proposed airport here would be the fourth international airport in the State, the Minister said the government was also going ahead with the plan to develop infrastructure facilities required for the airport. While the road from here to the airport site would be developed into a six-lane road, the roads to Mattannur from Thalassery and other parts, including Vadakara would be elevated to four-lane highways. The State budget had already allocated Rs.25 crore for infrastructure development in addition to the budgetary allocation of Rs.52 crore under tourism development, he said.

Mr. Balakrishnan said the government would ensure that the Pazhassi reservoir would be renovated for ensuring availability of water to the proposed airport. He said Rs. 40 crore would be earmarked for plugging leaks in the shutters of the reservoir.

K.K. Shylaja, MLA, presided over the function. K.C. Joseph, MLA, was the chief guest.

Yes, areawise vismaya is large enough as veegaland. But they don't have enough rides as veegaland. Also people will directly compare it with veegaland and say they are not satisfied with it. The entry fee is high compared to what they offer. They should fix it some where around Rs 100.

Jukys is really small in area. I didn't see it till date. Actually only a few people have really heard about it. I had seen their ad a very few time in TV. Sadhoo has its brand reputation in north malabar. Vismaya dont need advertisement. But Jukys is a good example of poor marketing. They have invested crores of rupees to build an amusement but failed to market it properly. Even people in the neighborhood may not know about it.

The website says parks are planned at Eramom in Kannur Dist and Cheemeni in Kasargod Dist. They also says that land is already in the custody of the govt and have SEZ status. Then whats the need of a delay in starting the project? Even if there is a delay why can't they be shown in the map? If the parks are planned, land is acquired, got SEZ status can't it be displayed in govt website which show cases kerala IT development initiative. When anything comes to malabar and especially north malabar sankaran always thengil thanne. :bash::mad2:

This is really unfair for kannur, which is a leading commercial center in north malabar, this picture itself shows how govt in ignoring malabar region, an investor when they see this map, will surely go away from malabar...especially kannur, since when the people inside dont have any interest then, how an outsider will have confidence to invest, they could have named it as cyber park kannur...and shown it in the map...this map has to be changed...i don know wat will happen if we says it here....:bash::ohno:

Union Minister of State for Railways E. Ahamed visited his home town Kannur yesterday. Southern Railway GM said that developments worth Rs 10 crore is planned in Kannur Railway station in the current fiscal year. He said more we can expect in the forthcoming railway budget.

So these are the developments going to happen in Kannur Rly station.

- New Entrance from the eastern side.
The second entrance will have separate parking area, ticket counters, waiting rooms etc.

- New platform
The existing oil depots will be moved away from kannur. The new platform will be constructed in the place of the oil depots. He said there is no space for new platform in the eastern side. Delux toilet complex will be constructed within one year. New roof made of galvium will be used for the second platform. (Now I am totally confused here. Oil depot is at thavakkara. So if the new platform will replace the oil depot how people can reach there? If a new entrance is constructed in eastern side wont there be another platform there? Now which is the second platform mentioned here? Is that the existing 2&3 platform or the new one? Finally how many new platforms?)

- New water pipeline from Kannur South railway station
For this a new well will be constructed at Kannur South Rly station

- Pitline in Kannur
Pitline for repair and maintenance of trains is being considered in Kannur Railway Station. Some times Kannur South Rly Station may be considered for this.

- New trains
A new passenger train from mangalore is under consideration. Kannur-Yeswantpura, Mangalore-Chennai super fast may become daily trains. Instead of new trains more coaches in existing trains are also under consideration. :cheers:

Centre ready to set up para military training unit in Kannur
Kannur , June 24 The Centre is ready to set up a unit of paramilitary training centre near Panoor in the district if the Kerala government acquires 80 acres of land in the area, Minister of State for Home Mullappally Ramachandran said today.
A unit of paramilitary training centre would be set up near Panoor if the government came forward to acquire the land, he said at a function to inaugurate a multi-industrial training centre near Tripangottur in the district.

A township would come up in the locality as part of the training centre, he added.

http://www.indopia.in/India-usa-uk-news/latest-news/607049/National/1/20/1

Hope the State Govt. will take initiative to provide and develope the infrastructure required. Mr. Mullappally has done a lot of good things to Kannur earlier also when he represented Kannur in the Parliament. Kannur radio station, DD High Power transmitter, development in Telecom sector etc are only a few.

Also if a paramilitary training center is started, they can make use of the facilities already available in Kannur. Kannur has a DSC center since 1961which imparts training to ex-service personnel of Army, Navy, Air Force and Territorial Army and recruits them to various agencies under the Arm, Navy, Air Force and Territorial Army and to the Directorate General of Ordinance Factories and Directorate General of Research and Development. Kannur has an Army School, Military Hospital, DSC Canteen and already 3 Kendriya vidyalayas. Also the KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN is done the feasibility study to open two more in the district. (http://www.kvsangathan.nic.in/80bog.doc)

Besides, the CRPF training center in Peringome is nearing completion and may be commissioned very soon.

The largest naval academy in Asia is also in Kannur. Earlier Kerala Home Minister, Mr. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan annouced that a marine police academy also would be started near to naval academy. Mr. Mullappaly also spoke about this recently during his visit to Kerala.

Kannur airport works to begin this year

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Work on the Kannur Airport is expected to begin this year-end, Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan told the Assembly on Monday.

The Government also proposes to acquire 783 acres adjoining the 192 acres that have already been taken over for the project, he said. So far, the Government has spent Rs 3.89 crore through the KINFRA on the project. Between 1998 and 2001, Rs 8.03 crore was paid for acquiring land for the airport, he said.

Thanx to Mr. Mullappaly for now we have four private FM stations in Kannur. ;) Because it is the same infrastructure AIR which is being used by the private players. In Kerala Trivandrum, Calicut and Thrissur were the older radio stations. Later when Cochin FM started in late 80s, Mr. Mullappally put pressure in the central government to start an FM station in Kannur too. So now Kannurians can enjoy all the FM channels which are available only in few cities in Kerala. Similarly north malabar used to receive only weak tv signals even though many houses had foreign TV sets bought from gulf countries. It was that time when mullapally brought the high power transmitter to kannur. All these things made him very popular among the people. People voted for him irrespective of their political affiliation. Thats is why he was elected from Kannur for six times continuously until he lost to Mr. Abdullakutty.

Thalassery-Mysore railway line was his dream project. If he was made railway minister he would have definitely fulfilled his dream. I dont know what Mr. Ahmed is going to do.

Let us hope Mr. E Ahammed will not neglect his native district. Three days back ther was a news in the Mathrubhumi that a high level team of railway visited Kannur station as per Mr. Ahammed's instruction and they are supposed to give an affirmative report to open pit line in Kannur and other developments to be done in Kannur. (http://mathrubhumi.com/php/newFrm.php?news_id=12169032&n_type=RE&category_id=13&Farc=T). If a pit line is coming, the suitable place would be Kannur south and not Kannur main station especially due to the easiness to acquire land and complete the work.

Also Kannur has enough MPs to 'represent' it in the Parliament. (Mr. Sudhakaran, Mr. M K Raghavan, Mr. K. C Venugopal & Mr. E Ahammed) are from Kannur and Mr. P Karunakaran & Mr. Mullappaly are very closely related to Kannur

Hello Sir, MPs are representing their constituencies in the parliament. not their native districts. Their first priority should be the development of their constituency. That is the main goal of our parliamentary system.
we can hope these all leaders will do fair with their native lands too, but only after the constiuencies they are representing

otherwise it will be an ugly unlawful treatment of the peaple who had elected them.

No, earlier there were reports that pitline is being considered in Kannur South rly station. But later they inspected the main station and now it is being considered for the pitline. See the report from the link you have given. They are considering two possibilities for the pitline. Either it will be in the north or it will replace an existing line. If pitline is realised more trains can be started from Kannur. Especially since the mangalore-bangalore railway line is fully functional now we can have more trains to bangalore in that route. :cheers:

Kannur always had enough MPs representing in Parliament as well as enough MLAs in Assembly. But they seldom did anything for Kannur. If such a representation is of any significance, Kannur would have developed like Kochi or Trivandrum. :nuts:

http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/5213/mukundn.jpg

What I have marked here as 1,2 and 3 are three floors. Thats what we see when we look from the right side. So below that there is enough space for atleast one floor. I have marked two letters A and B which may be entrance into the building or individual shops. Those A and B are at different level. See the size of the couple (encircled in yellow) standing in front an entrance. So there may be two levels below those 1,2 and 3 which I have marked. To conclude the building must be larger than what we can perceive from the drawing. Just my thots :)

Aslesh, there cannot be three floors as you have numbered as 1, 2, 3. BTW in that case there is one more panel of the structural glazing which will take it to four. And for a commercial space, esp shopping, you need more floor height.

In the case of A & B, even though the entry are slightly different levels, the ceiling is the same. There can be a chance of a mezannine floor, not a full two levels.

There aren't too many malls coming. Also these are simply closed shopping complexes. They may take years to be filled with tenants. The website of payyannur mall is infected with some virus. I got alert message in my kaspersky AV. So I dont think its safe to post it here.

Paloli Muhummed kutty has said in the assembly that LDF govt is not considering the formation of any new muncipal corporations. So Kannur wont get corporation status this time too. :bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash:

Its heard that Central govt is considering the population of urban agglomerations for JNNURM and not the population of muncipality or corporation. This time cities with population above 5 lakhs are added into the list. They have taken into account the population of Urban Agglomeration for this. Population of Kannur Urban Agglomeration is 498207 according to 2001 census. So did we lost it just for 2000 people?:ohno:

Exactly. If we go throuh the following links, we can see that Kannur is the 4th Largest Urban area in Kerala and these are based on the census statistics of 2001. Now it would have grown again.

http://urbanindia.nic.in/moud/theministry/subordinateoff/tcpo/UAS_TOWN/FINALUAS_TOWNS.PDF

As a municipality it is very small. But the City is spread into all near by panchayaths. While travelling we can see that city area of Kannur is spread between Puthiyatheru and Thottada in Length and Payyambalam to Chala Kadachira area in breadh. (Almost 12 X 6 km). (A rough calculation only)

Still it is not become a corporation. I think all the politicians in Kannur donot want to loss their existing position what ever they are holding now.

Keralites await rail link to Bangalore
The people of Northern parts of Kerala state have been eagerly awaiting a proposal by railways to lay a 40-km long rail line to connect Bangalore to take shape as it would reduce the travel time and give a fillip to tourism and trade sectors.

Union Minister for Railways Mamata Banerjee would table the Railway budget for 2009-10 on Friday in parliament.

The preliminary survey for the Kanhangad-Panathur railway line had completed and the authorities were in the process of submitting a feasibility report to the Railway Board to get final nod for the project.

On completion of the Rs 350 crore project passengers could reach Bangalore from Kanhangad, located on the Mangalore-Kannur route in seven hours against the present 12 hour long journey.

As the Railway Ministry gave green signal to survey the 71-KM Kanhangad-Kaniyur route via the hilly hamlet of Panathur in the 2008-09 budget, a team led by R P Divakar, Chief Engineer, (Survey), Southern Railway, has recently identified the 40 KM route passing through the mid and high land area. A railway team of the Southern Railway Deputy Chief Operation Manager assessed the freight and passenger traffic potential and held detailed discussions with officials, local body representatives and merchants who have evinced keen interest in the proposed project, Railway sources said.

....

The works on the 31 KM long stretch to Kaniyur on the Mangalore-Hassan-Bangalore route comes under the South Western Railway. A senior railway official in Chennai said the feasibility report would be submitted to the Railway Board shortly.

The proposed project is expected to pave way for economic activities and help the region have easier access to tourist destinations like scenic Bekal Fort and Ranipuram hill stations besides pilgrim centres dotted in the region.

^^ Some time back Bangalore-Coimbatore Intercity was extended to Ernakulam. There was lot of protests from Tamilnadu. Still you can see people lamenting about this in SSC forums (TN sections). I have used that train a couple of times to go to Guruvayoor Temple from Bangalore. When I booked my ticket, I was reducing the number of tickets available to a guy to Coimbatore which he had earlier. As simple as that.

Same here, Bangalore-Mangalore train might have been an exclusive train between two major cities of Karnataka. Even now it is said that the services available is not adequate. Now passengers from Mangalore to Bangalore would have to compromise on the number of seats available. And one more thing, there is a large population of people from Malabar, esp from Kannur who own or working in shops/Bakeries/Supermarkets etc. This extension is a boon to them, but will affect the passengers who are bound to Mangalore.

I had thought that Nilambur-Nanjencode Railway line would be given some priority. It would have opened a new route from Kerala to Bangalore. You have to prioritise according to the traffic demands.

thats is a point. I din think that way.
when Ekm - Calicut intercity was extented to Kannur. we all welcomed it.
is that a bad move...hehe just kidding.:)

I think there is now a lot of proposals to Karnadaka from Malabar, Kanhangad- Mysore, Tellichery Mysore, Nanjangud- Nilambur., Then within the state likeKollangod- Thrissur, is we really need these much lines, for a tyni state like Kerala???is that a reason to avoid those all propasals from the ministry???

I think Nanjangud - Nilambur and Edappally - Thanur should get the priority.
as unlike other lines these two lines are benefited to a majority of districts.

No regionalism please. I am from Calicut. I don't have anything to do with these lines- only practical view

sudheeshnairs

July 3rd, 2009, 08:55 PM

Situations are different here. Bangalore is a destination to which people all over India flock to. And it is a overnight journey too, with reservation lists full always.

The crux of the point is that when something becomes a little difficult which was earlier comfortable, people oppose that change..Everybody is averse to change and their comfort levels, be it me or you.

To be frank, if it were some two years ago, I would not have liked Janshatabdi extended to Calicut. (This is only my personal opinion and nothing against the calicut guys, ok? Anyway now being a bangalorean, it does not matter to me much also) My previous company's corporate/registered office was in TVM and a branch in Kochi. So we mostly depended on Jan Shatabdi for our travels between the two cities. And it is the most comfortable and fast train, most days reaches back to TVM by 9.30 PM or so. So you can be leave in the morning at 6.30 AM and reach home back by9.30 PM comfortably. Only issue was that the A/C coach would get filled up easily and since all these trips are sudden, perhaps we may not get time to book in advance. When it gets extended to Calicut, the seats to Ernakulam gets reduced. There would not be any increase in the A/C seats available, whereas passengers will increase. Moreover, on the return direction, if a train is coming from some other station there are more chances of it being late. So if Jan Shatabdi used to leave ERS mostly on time, it cannot be gauranteed now and consequently a delayed arrival in TVM. And in the morning from Tvm, those who were using Parasuram Exp (almost at the same time departure) to go to Calicut or Thrissur may now switch to Jan Shatabdi, again bringing down the seats which earlier was there!!

thats is a point. I din think that way.

Actually this train is already crowded. What we needed was another train in kannur-mangalore-bangalore route. That would have benefited both kannur and mangalore. When the intercity express was extended to kannur the situation was different. There are many people from calicut who travel to kannur and viceversa. But in the case mangalore its only mallus who travel to karnataka and back. So for them they may not be able to afford people from kerala competing for the already scarce resources they have been using.

Ya, you are right. Better we need a new train for Knr-Mgr-Bgr route. Now Kannur got a train towards Hassan (I don’t know about Mysore, whether this going through Mysore also.)

Last time we requested Mgr-Bombay Malsyaganda express extend to Kannur as that train is waiting Mgr CS for more than 8 hours. So Malabar people gets new daily train to Bombay but that was not done because of the big opposition from Mgr people. Actally there are lots of Mallus are getting into this train daily travelling from Knr,Clt or Ksgd. Extention of current train means more rush into the current situation.
Now Knr got daily train to Bgr that’s welcomed. Its better if we got Yshwatpur train also on daily basis through Palakad. :banana:

Kannur is a very small municipality. On 90’s C.M. ,EK Nayanar tried to get Kannur as corporation but our Municipality people is opposed the move because neighboring panchayat are ruled by LDF, if municipality made corporation the ruling party will change and UDF will not get the control. At that time Kannur will be 4th corporation of Kerala before but now also it’s a dream.
If we got status of corporation there should be big investment in infrastructure better than municipality.
The political party is only looking at their authority not the responsibility.

Well said. Sadly the whole of Malabar has been neglected. The doubling of Mangalore Shornur is just one example ! Mangalore contributes 80 % of revenue for Palakkad division but the CENTRAL station had been neglected for years. I am told there are improvements nowincluding Mangalore junction after the name change but thankfully it has been included in the list of WORLD CLASS STATIONS.I am not too sure how many years this will take. By then govts. might change! We need a proper superfast train between Mangalore and TVM starting from Mangalore at about 7AM with stops at Kannur,Kozhikode,Thrissur,EKM .(LIMITED STOP EXPRESS)!

This is just for the benefit of the youngsters. In the seventees and early eighties .it was not uncommon for trains to travel backwards ,I mean in the reverse direction when Mangalore Shornur line was single and cars used to travel on the same bridge as train ply now at valapattanam . I have travelled across the railway bridge as in those years there was only one bridge across the river. A bit of history. Since then we have come a long way though the progress hads been painfully slow.

About the express train to Tvm, we need a train like that. But as far as I know when EKM – KNR intercity was started there was only stops like CLT-SHRNUR-TCR, but peoples wants stops at their own place then they changed stops as one in one district, then again changed to all big stations. This will happen to new trains also because Kerala is like a metro city.

Prior to line doubling, there was another funny action taking place at Parappanangady RS.

If I am correct, there was one line in that railway station, with a dead end. If suppose, a priority train has to overtake another one, the one with low priority shall be making a halt in the line with dead end, while the high priority train passes by. Thereafter, the one in the dead end track will move backwards and then move forward to enter the main track.

This is a common problem. Let it be road or rail.

For all trains this is the fate. When they commence service, they will have the minimum number of stops. But as time passes by, people would agitate to have more stops.

In early, 1990s, in the Thrissur-Palakkad sector, the Limited Stop buses had to stop only at 8 stops. There were High Way ONLY buses, which were not even going inside the Vadakkenchery & Alathur Towns. The running time was very much convenient for the innumerable number of commuters in the Thrissur-Palakkad stretch. The maximum running time was less than 70 minutes (2 hours & 20 minutes is the approved timing !!!!!!!!)

But as time passed on, people made "passenegrs associations', even at unimpotant stops and started agitating. In the mean time, the various "Janakeeya Jilla Collectors" (for popularity sake) & Courts made decisions favouring the short distance travellers, who were already having a number of local buses. The only sufferer were the long distance passengers, with having more than 32 or more stops and the buses lost 10 to 15 minutes at the Vadakkenchery & Alathur Towns.

Almost similar thing happened in the Palakkad-Kozhikode & Thrissur - Kozhikode routes too.

Later the long distance travellers were benefitted only when the Town to Town (TT) services were introduced.

We should follow the model as being operated in Tamil Nadu for years.

In each & every route they have different categories of buses operating.
For example, in the Pollachi - Palani route, there shall be few non stop buses, which just stops at Udumalpet. They will have few other buses, which will stop at still more number of stops. Also they do have very slow town buses, which stops at each & every stop on the route. This would cater to the needs of all these people.

I am not quating all ur posts.

What u said is correct in all parts of Kerala. But I like the TT service of KSRTC from Knr to Clt and Knr to Kasargod. They have only limited number of stops and people likes these services as at the starting point itself almost all the buses will be full.

Yes this train is going via mysore also. Its running time is more than 11 hours between mangalore and bangalore. Plus 2.5-3 hours means it will take around 13.5-14 hours from bangalore to kannur.

See it has already started. Some valid points too.

Firstly, the extension of the train, which takes 12 hours of travel time from Mangalore to Bangalore, to Kannur, which is three hours from Mangalore, does not make travelling sense. Secondly, the Kannur region has a tri-weekly Yeshwantpur Express (6528) which takes 13 hours to reach Bangalore via Shornur. And in case a Kannur passenger wanted to travel to Bangalore via Mangalore, it would take more than 15 hours!

For Palakkad division, the major contributor freight traffic is Mangalore from the Port as well as other industries and next is India Cements (?) at Walayar and the other Cement factory at Madukkarai (TN).

For Palakkad division, the major contributor freight traffic is Mangalore from the Port as well as other industries and next is India Cements (?) at Walayar and the other Cement factory at Madukkarai (TN).

If that is the case sudheesh do you recommend Thrissur - Kollengode rail line high priorty ?

What is the relation with the industry/freight charge with this particular line??
insted More industries are based near to Coimbatore not in Pollachi

Pollachi is an important town in Coimbatore District and a Taluk HQ. Pollachi is very close to Coimbatore. How far is Vadakara from Kozhikode ? 40 km ? Pollachi is not even as far as that - may be 32 or 34 km from Coimbatore. May be before the evolution of Tiruppur as a major textile / knitware hub in the late 80s, Pollachi was second only to Coimbatore. Pollachi has few industrial units too.

Pollachi has more agro-industries. However, the Thrissur-Kollengode line is not gonna connect Thrissur directly to Pollachi alone, as I had mentioned earlier (elsewhere in this forum) the other towns of Coimbatore District like Palladam, Udumalpet etc and the towns of the Dindigul District like Palani, Dharapuram, Oddanchadram, Bathlagundu, Kodaikanal etc shall be connected to the Central Kerala. Also it will benefit the people living on the eastern slopes of the westernghats - the rainshadow region of the Idukki District.

Logistics of Vegetables, Sugar Cane (Marayoor/Chittor) , Rice (Palladom to Ernakulam / Thrissur) etc shall be much easier. Also the entire stretch from Pollachi to Palani via Udumalpet is a textile belt having a good number of factories producing fabric.

Better connectivity to the tourist spots in Annamalais (Valparai, Parambikkulam, Upper Palani Hills (Kodaikanal) etc. Infact to reach Parambikulam in Kerala, we have to travel via the Pollachi taluk area for better access.

Please see above article regarding the Railway budget, Kannur didnt got anything special in the budget.:ohno:

There is a person hailing from Kannur District, who is in a very much influential position. Once upon a time, he was roaming around Trivandrum City in green (metallic) Ambassador cars bearing plates with number as KLN 786, KRC 3 etc. If you investigate who was this personality, you will get the correct answer.

My comment is just simple!!\\

is that line should get a most important status or not??

there is lot of such towns & cities are there in TN, is all such towns have to connect to nearest kerala cities by different different rail lines???

And what is the status of present day line connecting Pollachi & Palakkad
I read somewhere that it is uneconomical due to some reason. If colturally more close Palakkad line is uneconomical then what will be the future of new line???

If this is the case, we will stop all our discussions here. We will just have the Palakkad-Coimbatore, Quilon-Shencottah & Trivandrum-Nagercoil to connect with Tamil Nadu. Please under stand that we live in a Consumer State, where pins to aeroplanes (uppu thottu karpooram vare ennu Malayalam) have to come from a neighboring State, mostly TN, followed by Karanataka & AP.

It is not a question of connecting each town ot TN to every City in Kerala, but to provide access to travellers to tourist & religious destinations in both the States. Also, these routes will serve as cargo corridors between the different zones in Kerala with Tamil Nadu Cities & Towns which are production & distribution centres of Agricultural & Industrial produce & products.

Aslesh, thanq for posting. This photo i have seen in livefist.blogspot.com which was posted by Shiv Aroor. Thanks for him too. Earlier Aslesh and Latheesh posted some photoes. But this picture was more clear and taken from a different angle.

As Sudheeshnair said, it may be taken from a chopper or from the summit of Ezhimala. But not able to identify on which side sea is coming. But it is sure that photo is taken before the completion of the works since some buildings seems under construction stage.
