Closure of railway gate created geographic division in area
The railway underpass at Edappally will be opened by Hibi Eden, MP, at 4 p.m. on December 11.
The closure of the railway gate when the overbridge was opened for traffic in 2012 practically created a geographic division in the neighbourhood, causing people to travel long distances to reach nearby places.
This gave rise to the demand for an underpass and in 2017-18, legislators Hibi Eden and P.T. Thomas granted ₹1.18 crore and ₹1.25 crore from development fund for the same. K.V. Thomas, who was MP, then, offered ₹1 crore.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
