₹43-lakh project under Green Carpet scheme of Tourism Department nearing completion at beach
Even as the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) is going ahead with its projects to enhance infrastructure at the Cherai beach, several complaints remain about the popular tourism destination. A ₹43-lakh project under the Green Carpet scheme of the Tourism Department is nearing completion at the beach and is likely to be commissioned shortly. Under the scheme, funds are allotted for improving infrastructure at tourism destinations. “The construction of differently-abled-friendly toilets, complete with a ramp and a watch tower, and related amenities for lifeguards is now 80% complete and may be commissioned next month. An information centre, signage, and CCTV network are also being set up,” said S. Vijayakumar, Ernakulam DTPC secretary.
