On the list are fitting of 16 lights on the east-west direction near the chira, a public pathway opposite to Vadakke bus stand, a bird watching counter, a remaking of the ‘kovilile kulakadavu’ in the west. The works are expected to be completed within a year. Renovation of comfort stations and shops near Vadakke stand is another step taken by DTPC.
