The decision was adopted at the DTPC’s executive committee meeting chaired by District Collector N. Padmakumar.
As per plan, the DTPC will construct a rest house and toilet near the pier at the Alappuzha beach at an estimated cost of Rs. 25 lakh, obtained from the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) funds of K.C. Venugopal.
