> Title: Need to provide special package for infrastructural development in Alleppey and Kollam Districts of Kerala.
SHRI KODIKKUNNIL SURESH (MAVELIKKARA): Mr. Chairman, I thank you for giving me this chance to raise a matter of urgent public importance.
In Kerala, Kuttanad and Manthuruthi islands belong to my parliamentary constituency. Geographically these two places are very difficult to have access to because rivers and lakes are surrounding Kuttanad and Manthuruthi islands. People are living in adjacent sides of the rivers and lakes. There is no road connectivity. There are no bridges. Government of Kerala or the local Panchayats are not able to provide roads and bridges.
Therefore, I would like to request the Government of India to provide road connectivity as well as bridges. I request the Government to announce a package of Rs.1000 crore for the development of infrastructure in Kuttanad and also in Munthuruthi islands.
