Beautification project in Kochi
In a proposal to make the Rs 1.12-crore highway beautification project a success, the Kochi Corporation has mooted setting up kiosks along service roads. The local body plans to rope in hotels, builders, individual traders and other businesses along the highway to pump in funds to beautify medians as well as service roads, ensure proper maintenance of drains and set up comfort stations.
The business community discussed the proposal after the corporation presented a detailed project estimate regarding the beautification of the national highway stretch between Edappally and Vyttila on Saturday. The corporation has roped in local business houses as project stakeholders.
The beautification process along the highway will serve as to the state of Kochi and will help in enhancing the natural and environmental preservation. The details on how the Kochi Corporation will approach and which industrial hotels or builders they would like to approach has still not been made clear. Probably this process might take some time, but once the project works start it is sure to get finished quickly. The corporation is trying to do the work by the end of the next fiscal.
