HC restrains GCDA, KMRL from reducing width of road

The Kerala High Court restrained the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) and the Kochi Metro Rail (KMRL) from reducing the width of the KC Kannan Road in South Panampilly Nagar in any manner for beautification of the road. The road had a uniform width of 22 m originally. However, GCDA decided that the middle portion of the road, where it borders the Thevara-Perandoor canal, should be reduced to a width of 7 m so that the KMRL can take up beautification work on the stretch.
