The Alappuzha municipality is set to begin work on the proposed food-art street (eat street) near the Alappuzha lighthouse.
Recently H. Salam, MLA; Alappuzha municipal chairperson K.K. Jayamma; and other officials visited the project site and held a review meeting. Alappuzha municipal vice-chairman P.S.M. Hussain said that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) would be signed with the Public Works department (PWD road wing) soon. “The meeting has decided to launch preliminary works. Once the MoU is signed, major works will be commenced. Our plan is to open the food-art street by December this year,” Mr. Hussain said.
The civic body, as part of making nightlife livelier in Alappuzha, will set up the food-art street by converting a stretch of the Elephant Gate road. The stretch from the lighthouse to the FCI godown will be beautified while preserving heritage.
