The Public Works department (PWD) that provides accommodation for over two lakh guests a year is all set to set up its first women-only rest house in Kerala.
The State has sanctioned ₹2.25 crore for setting up the exclusive facility for women on the premises of the Government Rest House, Thycaud, in Thiruvananthapuram. The construction of the two-storey building is expected to be completed in 2025.
According to the office of Public Works Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas, the State government has earlier announced that women’s rest houses will be constructed as part of making rest houses in the State people’s rest houses. The facility to come up in the capital would be beneficial for women visiting the capital for various purposes, said the Minister in a statement here on Tuesday.
