The clouds of worry that gather over the forest-side villages of Kurumbanmoozhy and Arayanjilimon every year during the monsoons are finally dissipating.
To ensure a safe passage of the villagers here to the world outside during the rainy seasons, authorities have decided to construct footbridges across the Pampa to each of these settlements. As part of it, an expert team from the Steel Industrials Kerala Limited, a State owned PSU, visited these locations last week and prepared the estimates.
According to the Ranni legislator Pramod Narayan, the footbridges are being established in view of a perceived delay in constructing permanent bridges to replace the causeways at these locations. A proposal for construction of bridges at these locations has been pending with the Chief Minister and the Public Works Minister
