Road, drainage works progressing along Palarivattom corridor
Kochi Metro Rail Limited is currently working on road and drainage restoration between Palarivattom and the JLN International Stadium to address persistent traffic congestion and waterlogging. While progress is steady, the presence of underground utility pipelines has slowed the pace of construction, prompting local authorities to set a 10-day deadline for completion.
Why it matters

Road and drainage restoration works being undertaken by Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) along the stretch between Palarivattom and Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) International Stadium metro station are progressing, with officials of both the Kochi Corporation and KMRL inspecting the site on a daily basis.
