KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Friday directed the Kochi corporation to take immediate steps to clear all unauthorised constructions on road margins at Convent Junction and roads leading to Convent Junction, like Market Road and other roads, within two months.
The court issued the order on a petition filed by C J Thomas, of Ernakulam, alleging that corporation is failing in its duty to maintain road margins at Convent Junction and Market Road by permitting illegal constructions, thus blocking not only pedestrians but also customers who come to shops situated on the side of the road.
