Building owners’ group submits memorandum to District Police Chief
The Small Scale Building Owners’ Association has said that opening S.M. Street for vehicular traffic is the only viable solution to the problem of traffic congestion at G.H. Road, Palayam, Moideen Pally Road and Court Road.
In a memorandum submitted to District Police Chief (Kozhikode City) A.V. George on Monday, the association pointed out that irregular parking of vehicles around S.M. Street was the main cause for congestion and sought the reintroduction of traffic to the street as the arrangement had been before its renovation a few years ago.
Association patron C.E. Chakkunni said parking plazas at Kidson Corner and Link Road were yet to be a reality, forcing people to park their vehicles on the roadside, leading to traffic congestion in the heart of the city. He said that if S.M. Street was opened, parking arrangements could be made inside Land World, Koyenco Bazaar, Grand Bazaar, Chettiar Compound and Radha Compound, considerably reducing congestion on other roads.
