Members of the public must take the lead in ensuring that the streetscape at Panampilly Nagar that was refurbished by Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) is maintained as a model corridor, Minister for Industries P. Rajeeve said, after inaugurating it on Tuesday.
The refurbishing of the 850-metre corridor was done as part of the metro agency’s non-motorised transport (NMT) initiative. Speaking on the occasion, he said the condition of roads in the city saw a noticeable improvement after the Kochi metro was commissioned and the metro agency resurfaced them.
The NMT initiatives to renovate footpaths have given an image makeover to many city roads, said Mayor M. Anilkumar.
