There will be two-way movement of vehicles on Old Kankanady Road (adjoining Father Muller Hospital),” Mr. Kumar said.

Dalit activist Anil Kankanady said pedestrians face difficulty in crossing the road between Karavali Circle and Kankanady Circle and sought the opening of the divider. Pedestrians also face problems with parking of buses near Karavali Circle on the Kankanady Bypass road, he said.
