The services were halted in 2018 following the floods. A few thousand commuters from the region, most of whom from economically weaker sections, who relied on ferries to commute to Ernakulam and other places, have to either travel by bus or go all the way to the Customs Jetty in Fort Kochi to board ferries. Bus commuters end up paying over thrice the ferry fare of ₹6 and also spend more than double the time to reach mainland Ernakulam, said Govind Madhav Mallaya of West Kochi Passengers’ Association.

Kerala local body polls: Factionalism and rebels give headache to UDF | Kochi News

Polling officials head for their respective centres, with police escort, after collecting EVMs and other poll-related material from the Guardian Angels’ School at Manjummel in Kochi on Wednesday KOCHI: As the district goes to polls on Thursday, political parties are engaged in last minute work to ensure victory for their candidates. All the three fronts see the local body polls as a dress rehearsal for assembly elections to be held in April-May 2021. While LDF hopes the failure of UDF-led administration in Kochi corporation and district panchayat will help the front, UDF banks on the allegations against the state government. One of the major hurdles in the way of UDF is factionalism and the threat posed by rebels. “In the last couple of times, the threat posed by rebels were not so big. But this time there are rebels in many of the divisions of Kochi corporation. The outcome can be known only after the results are out,” an UDF leader said.
