Stir for expediting road connectivity Updated: Updated: Thripunithura residents to hold hunger strike on Jan. 1 Share Article Thripunithura residents to hold hunger strike on Jan. 1 Even as Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) says that it is premature to comment on establishing road connectivity to Kochi Metro’s terminal station in Thripunithura, representatives of residents’ associations in Thripunithura are on the warpath, demanding clarity on the issue. They have decided to hold a hunger strike at East Fort Junction on January 1, deploring the “inordinate delay” in finalising road connectivity from SN Junction to Thripunithura railway station. No effort was being made to hew out a road, at the ground level. This was a challenge to members of the public, said Thripunithura Rajanagari Union of Residents’ Associations (TRURA).
