The District Development Committee approved a proposal to address transport difficulties for contractors in Munroe Thuruthu during a meeting in Kollam.
The District Development Committee (DDC) has approved a proposal to implement a special cost index for Munroe Thuruthu, according to The Hindu.
During a meeting presided over by District Collector Annie Jula Thomas, Abraham Samuel, representing Kodikunnil Suresh MP, stated that a uniform cost index disadvantages Munroe Thuruthu because transporting materials to the area is difficult.
Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister P. C. Vishnunadh attended the session and instructed officials to visit the new site for the Kundara KSRTC bus station immediately.
The committee also directed departments to remove felled trees from PWD roadsides to prevent traffic disruptions and to increase food safety inspections in hotels and eateries.
Regarding infrastructure, the municipal secretary said a tender for a new drainage line has started to address waterlogging on Vadakkumbhagam Link Road.
To manage waste near the Kollam Boat Jetty Link Road, a tender worth ₹1.5 crore has been issued for lake cleaning, while the Corporation has installed grills at three spots to stop waste from entering Ashtamudi Lake.
