Edamalakkudy will get proper road connectivity soon

Road construction works are in progress, connecting the first tribal panchayat in the State at Edamalakkudy under the Munnar Wildlife Division in Idukki. According to officials, construction of the three-meter-wide concrete road from Pettimudy to Edalipparakudy continues.

In October 2022, the State Tribal department sanctioned ₹18.45 crore for the road construction. The road will traverse the forest from Pettimudy to Societykudy, the base camp of the Edamalakkudy panchayat, for a distance of 12.5 km.

Devikulam sub-collector Rahul Krishna Sharma said that road construction works are speedily progressing. “Now the rainfall has reduced in the area, and we hope the works can be completed soon”, said Mr Sharma.
