After long wait, Kochi's Kumbalam-Thevara bridge dream inches closer to reality

KOCHI: The Kumbalam-Thevara bridge, a long-pending demand which would substantially reduce commuting time between the city and its southern outskirts, is finally set to become a reality. Despite having received a budgetary allocation from the state government in 2016, the project failed to take off following opposition from the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), which argued the bridge would obstruct the movement of vessels along National Waterway 3. Now, after numerous revisions of design and alignment, the IWAI is set to give a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the PWD Bridges Section, the implementing agency. Another major issue, that of land acquisition, too has been sorted out with the officials completing the survey. Initially, we planned to construct a straight bridge connecting Kumbalam to Thevara Ferry. However, the IWAI expressed reservations, citing the bridge pillars would obstruct the smooth passage of vessels along National Waterway 3. Weve to change the alignment five times and the bridge design six times to finally satisfy the IWAI authorities. Now we expect the NOC from the central agency by next week, said a senior PWD official. The department has also begun attempts to get the Coastal Regulation Zone clearance, for which an agency has started a rapid Social Impact Study, the official said. An IWAI official confirmed that the regional office had forwarded a report on providing NOC to the bridge project to the headquarters in Noida three weeks ago. The same is now expected in a weeks time, the official said. The bridge will now be constructed in a curved manner, with a total length of 714.70 metres. It will start from Thevara Ferry and land beside the Water Metro terminal at Kumbalam. A total of 23 pillars will be constructed across the Kumbalam kayal. The issues related to the acquisition of around 30 cents of land have also been resolved and the individual surveys completed, the PWD official said. The next step is the issuance of 19(1) notification, following which an estimate of the project cost will be prepared and submitted to the KIIFB (Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board). Since the project received financial approval long back, the tendering process can be initiated without delay, the official added. The bridge will reduce the travel distance between Kumbalam and Thevara by nearly 10km and save half an hour. The issue had grabbed attention after local residents held a hunger strike a decade ago, demanding bridge connectivity. In 2016, KIIFB approved `97.45 crore for the project. As per the initial proposal, the bridge was expected to be completed within 36 months, but it never took off. Once the bridge is built, the residents of Kumbalam, Aroor, and Nettoor and Thevara can travel to and from these areas without having to navigate city traffic. Despite being just four kilometres away from the city, Kumbalam residents now have to travel 16 to 18km on the busy Aroor-Edappally stretch of NH 66 and get past four traffic signals to reach Kochi.

Government to check commercial viability of D2M tech

NEW DELHI: After the reasonably successful preliminary trials of direct-to-mobile (D2M) technology telecast of live TV channels on smartphones without an internet connection Prasar Bharati has sent a detailed proposal with findings to the government to seek approval for initiating large-scale testing to check its commercial feasibility. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting officials said the proposal is considered seriously and a go-ahead is expected within two months. Initial short-term technology trials have reasonably been successful, and now it is only a matter of time before the commercial viability is established, they added. Short-term trials of D2M have been completed. We need to carry out large-scale trials, which will take two to three years. The project plans will have to be worked out accordingly. The detailed proposal to check commercial viability of the technology has already been sent to the government. With large-scale trials, commercial viability will be tested. That is a major step, so a policy decision is required. The proposal sent by Prasar Bharati is being seriously considered. It will take another two months to get approval, said officials privy to the matter. After the policy decision, the tendering process for the selection of agencies to conduct trials will begin. The officials, however, said that actual field work might start in the next 8-10 months depending on decision at the government level. Initial trials were conducted in different cities, including Delhi, Noida and Bengaluru last year in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur and Saankhya Labs. On the significance of second-stage long-term trials, the officials said that during the small-scale trials, by and large, there are no difficulties as they are technology-focused trials. Small-scale trials give you, by and large, an idea whether the technology will work or not because it has already been tested in the laboratory. In large-scale trials, you get a chance to check commercial viability. On that basis, people make investments, said an official. The duration of the large-scale trial is only decided after an assessment, which will be undertaken by the agencies that will participate in the trial. For trials, critical mass of people are required. They will not come overnight. One lakh people will not join or get the devices. It will be checked if people are actually using the devices. This takes time, the official said. Live broadcasting of content directly to mobile devices is done using broadcast signals like television and radio, bypassing traditional cellular or internet data networks. For this, the phones or devices require specific hardware to receive and decode broadcast signals.
