Kochi to be beautified for investors’ meet
Unauthorised hoardings, display boards and banners
exhibited in the city will soon be cleared and city beautified, thanks
to the upcoming meeting of investors.
The cleaning
programme comes as part of the preparatory works for Emerging Kerala,
the investors meeting to be held in Kochi in September. A meeting of the
civic administrators from Nedumbassery to Maradu will implement the
city beautification programme. A committee headed by Kochi Mayor Tony
Chammany will meet on September 4 to chart out the programme.
The
Corporation will immediately take up the cleaning programme including
the removal of posters, hoardings and banners displayed on trees and
many parts of the city. The cleaning of city roads and making the
damaged ones navigable also form part of the preparatory works. The
removal of weeds along the median of the National Highway between
Vyttila and Edapally will be undertaken by the National Highway
authorities.
