Chief Minister to launch project tomorrow
The rich and eventful history of the Kozhikode beach remains rather oblivious to anyone visiting its shores. The Zamorin rule, trade relations with foreigners, British colonial influence, and the fiery struggles during the Independence movement continue to be somewhat hidden.
Freedom Square, a new project to be launched on Thursday, seeks to close this gap. A cultural space titled ‘Cultural Beach’ too would be opened along with it, A. Pradeepkumar, Kozhikode North MLA, told the media on Tuesday.
