Airport-Shankhumukham stretch awaits redemption

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Even as the state government had given administrative sanction to restore the damaged road from domestic airport to Shankhumukham stretch due to heavy monsoon and frequent sea erosion, the repair work has not seen much progress. Though a key road connecting domestic terminal and the city, the relatively smaller size of the stretch is yet to attract government attention. The connectivity from the airport to the city was cut off and many passengers arriving at the airport had to walk till Shankhumugham with baggage without knowing that the road was closed near the beach. However, the PWD officials said the work could be resumed only after the sea recedes from the shore.
