Many projects such as the Light Metro, Mananchira-Vellimadukunnu corridor have all hit roadblocks Newly elected legislators of Kozhikode North and Kozhikode South Constituencies have high expectations to implement big ticket projects such as the Light Metro for the development of city.

Corporation to convene meeting of trade unions, local residents
The unauthorised lorry parking on South Beach once again dominated the Kozhikode Corporation council meeting as Indian Union Muslim League councillor K. Moideen Koya brought the issue to the council’s notice through a submission on Monday.
Mr. Koya cited the problems created by the parking of lorries including four deaths and injury to many in road accidents on the stretch due to the traffic congestion caused by lorries. He recalled the promise of former Mayor Thottathil Raveendran that the issue would be sorted out at the earliest, which was never fulfilled and alleged the involvement of Left trade unions in causing hurdles before the corporation.
