The Chamravattom Regulator Bridge !






Today the Chamravattom Regulator Bridge will be dedicated to the nation. It is a 148 cr project. It will block the waters from Bharatapuzha from flowing into the sea. 13 kms long and 869 hectares will be directly benefited. The transporters save 30 kms. We need more infra projects like these, as Agri India do not have sufficient water ! Water scarcity has been reported in Cherpu, where women stand in queue for hours to get a bucket of water ! It will save 15 mm cubics of water in the first phase and 25 mm cubics in the second phase.

The Temple on the banks of Nila, at Chamravattom. Nearly 10000 hectares can be irrigated by the Regulator Bridge. Inauguration by the CM at 0400 PM.

The great mathematical genius, Aryabhata was born on the banks of Nila. Another Jain Siddha practised the 64 liberal arts at this place. Astronomy, Astrology, Music etc was practised on the banks of this river. This river is the Ganges of the Keralites. It is said that Kerala culture came from Nila !

For the passengers travelling from Ekm to Calicut, there is a gain of 40 kms. Previously the road was 225 kms and now travel is reduced to 185 kms. 20 rupees gain monetarily. 

Ten multi crore Tourism projects have been planned on the banks of the Nila. This will be a boon not only to this area, but to entire Kerala !
