All About Kerala and Beyond

Thiruvananthapuram Capital Region Development.

Improvements have been happening in traffic infrastructure of Trivandrum for about 2 years now. Things have improved in some areas and further improvement is expected once project is completed. But there are couple of problems.

• As always 'pothujanam' is Kazhutha. You can sometimes find that even cars come in the wrong direction through the newly constructed two lanes between Chakka & Palayam. Some morons want to avoid driving another 200 metres for a U-turn.
• Enviornmentalists are a pain in the ass in Kerala. I love nature and wants it to be preserved. But enviornmentalists are worse than Taliban fundamentalists sometimes. Bus bays along museum roads are affected due to these 'paristhithi terrorists'.
• While taking lands, Govt. should have taken some more land on both sides. Since it is not done, any future expansion on these now carry heavy financial & social burden.
• There are so many things happening like tiling of the footpaths along Kaudiar road. But for God's sake first fill all the Potholes on the road. I used to think what would be my feeling if I am the PWD engineer resposible for a road stretch which is full of big potholes.
• Parking is neglected in this whole business. It is going to be a major headache and cause for lot problems(it already is!). Due to corruption, most of building guidelines are now ignored.
