Kochi Corporation Requests Government Funding for Repair of Uneven Areas Along Metro Corridor

**Civic Body Faces Financial Constraints for S.A. Road Resurfacing Project**

The Mayor has announced that the civic body currently lacks the financial resources to mobilize the ₹14 crore required for the resurfacing of S.A. Road. This funding shortfall has prompted discussions about potential alternatives for addressing the roads deterioration, which has become a pressing concern for local residents and commuters.

In the meantime, preparations are underway to begin work aimed at preventing concrete blocks from falling onto the roadway below the Elamkulam station. This safety measure is crucial, considering the areas increased traffic and the potential hazards posed by the structural integrity of nearby buildings. The timeline for this preventive work is expected to be finalized shortly, with the aim of ensuring public safety while the funding issues for S.A. Road are addressed.

Local authorities are exploring various funding options and community partnerships to secure the necessary resources for the completion of the resurfacing project. The city’s infrastructure development is a priority, as adequate road conditions are essential for the daily commute and overall economic activity in the region. Further updates on the projects status and planned measures will be communicated to the public as they become available.
