Palarivattom flyover in Kochi reopens after reconstruction ANI | Updated: Mar 08, 2021 05:21 IST
Kochi (Kerala) [India], March 8 (ANI): Palarivattom flyover in Kochi that was shut for nearly two years amid allegations of corruption in its making was reopened for the public earlier on Sunday after its reconstruction.
On January 8, the Kerala High Court granted bail to former Public Works Department (PWD) minister and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) MLA VK Ebrahim Kunju in the Palarivattom flyover scam case.
Kunju is accused in connection with a scam related to the Palarivattom flyover, which was inaugurated in October 2016 and closed for traffic merely three years later after flaws were detected in the same in July 2017.

Due to frequent failure of monsoon, many have migrated to Tiruppur, Erode and Karur for employment
The predominantly agrarian, Manapparai constituency, which was formed by a delimitation process in 2008, has a mixed population of farmers, farm labourers and construction workers. Until delimitation, most of the areas were part of the Marungapuri constituency. There are three panchayat unions – Manapparai, Marungapuri and Vaiyampatti in the Manapparai constituency. Since Independence, Manapparai has been one of the most backward among the nine constituencies in Tiruchi district. In the absence of assured water source for irrigation, farmers in all the three unions are dependent on monsoon for cultivation.

Seven local bodies in Koduvally to decide fate of candidates
What is in the mind of Koduvally is least predictable these days. The ‘city of gold’ is seemingly inclined to express its political preferences in surprising ways during elections. Once a favourite constituency of the United Democratic Front (UDF) which retained it from 1957 to 2001, Koduvally is no more a comfort zone for the major fronts. The victory of Left Democratic Front (LDF) Independent Karat Razak in the last Assembly elections by a small margin is a reminder of the constituency’s changing political preferences.
