Problematic metro pier to be restored
The Hindu
The scheme for permanent restoration of pier 347 of the Kochi metro at Pathadipalam, where a settlement of the pier was reported over a month ago (following which trains were operating at lower speeds), has been finalised.
L&T, which was entrusted with the work, will provide additional piles and undertake required mobilisation by next week. The work has been planned without affecting normal metro services and will be completed before the onset of monsoon, Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) informed in a release.
Remember how Anne Frank didn’t miss a day to write in her diary which she named, Kitty? Anne wasn’t just scribbling dates and events — she was writing about her hopes, dreams, feelings and fears — like painting her world with words on paper. During the most difficult phase of her life, Anne found solace in her journal which became a way for her to stay connected to herself and it gave the world a glimpse into her immensely powerful resilience. In today’s world, where everyone is constantly scrolling the screens — journaling has become a sweet escape and a digital detox. Surprising, right? The old-school practice of picking up a pen and writing your thoughts in a diary has made a major comeback.
