Feroke-Karuvanthiruthy road to be a reality soon
The Hindu
The project will bring about substantial development in the region, says Minister
Public Works Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas has said that the land acquisition process for the road from the rail overbridge at Feroke to Karuvanthiruthy bridge will begin soon.
Around 2.5 hectares in Karuvanthiruthy are being acquired for the construction of the road, which is estimated to cost ₹60 crore. Of this, ₹2.99 crore has already been sanctioned from the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) for land acquisition. With work on the rail overbridge nearing completion, the project will bring about substantial development in the region, the Minister said.
After the Kadalundikadavu and Karuvanthiruthy bridges were renovated on the coastal road connecting Kozhikode and Malappuram districts, traffic on Feroke-Karuvanthiruthy road increased manifold. The road has several twists and turns, which did not discourage motorists. However, the lowness of the railway underpass at Feroke prevented tall vehicles, especially those carrying goods, from passing through. Hence, a new road is being constructed from the Feroke railway overbridge to Karuvanthiruthy bridge, the Minister said.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
