With the Pala by-poll in a weeks time, the ruling LDF government took a giant step announcing the demolition and reconstruction of Palarivattom flyover bridge. The flyover is in a political controversy following allegations that graft had taken place during the regime of the previous UDF government and allegations were rife against the Muslim League leader and former PWD minister VK Ibrahim Kunju of his involvement in influencing the officials.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the Palarivattam flyover will be rebuilt and the overall supervision of the rebuilding process will be done by E Sreedharan, the Metroman.
