Parameppadi-Ilanjimel road construction stalls for 16 years, impacting Cheriyanad and Puliyoor residents

Residents are waiting for the completion of the Parameppadi-Ilanjimel road, which began 16 years ago. The road, connecting Cheriyanad and Puliyoor panchayats, had its tarring done 16 years ago, with no subsequent repairs. Work resumed last fiscal year with ₹2.10 crore but remains unfinished. Construction, halted by rising material costs due to West Asian conflicts, is expected to be completed after two more layers of tarring, though funding is uncertain.
