Faced with public outcry over a speeding private bus fatally ramming a young woman who was walking along a road near Infopark that did not have footpaths, on Wednesday (November 4), it has been decided to convert all roads around the collectorate compound as one-way corridors.

Moreover, the roads around the collectorate will be widened by acquiring land from the premises of the collectorate, Kerala Books and Publications Society (KBPS), and other nearby plots. The Thrikkakara municipality will rebuild its compound walls.
