Summary:
The project was being steered by INS Venduruthy and has been completed in five-and-a-half months.“Front portion of our house got damaged badly in the floods. We have been staying in a makeshift tent erected near the new house till the construction gets over,” says Liji, wife of Joseph.In addition, the Navy is installing solar power equipment in all the 55 houses, of which 30 have been completed, including the three newly-constructed houses. Vehicles up to four tonnes will be able to ply on this bridge. Seeing this, the Navy had promised us to construct a new house in place of the old one, which consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, a hall and a toilet. Public works department had declared that the bridge was unsafe even for pedestrian traffic.The new bridge will be constructed adjacent to the existing bridge, and will be 50 metre long and 3.5 metre wide..
