Traders Oppose Move to Block Trade and Traffic on Busy MG Road in Kochi; KMRL’s ‘Walking Mall’ Agenda Hit
Kochi: The move by Kochi Metro Rail Limited to take over a large portion of the busy MG Road in Kochi and set up a Rs 21-crore ‘ Walking Mall’ , blocking trade and traffic alike, has suffered a setback with the traders and CPM opposing it.
The project envisages blocking one side of the MG Road and setting up a walkway, park, seating arrangements for visitors and planting trees. Motor traffic would be confined to only one side of the road and cars and bikes will be allowed to enter the road only from one side of the road. Public buses would not be allowed to use the road.
