Pallivasal fort model attracts tourists to Idukki

Pallivasal in Idukki has launched a "fort model" as part of its "take-a-break" project, aiming to attract more tourists to the Munnar hill station. The fort model, costing approximately ₹28 lakh, includes a cafeteria, viewpoint, and toilet complex, offering views of the Chokramudi hills. This follows the success of previous projects like the Munnar rail service and low-floor bus models. The local government plans further initiatives to boost tourism, create jobs, and increase revenue, with the Minister for Local Self-Governments inaugurating the project and announcing plans for a cleaner Munnar.
