Kochi: At last, Korumkotta island ferry users get renovated waiting area

New Indian Express  

KOCHI: The renovated waiting shed at the boat jetty in Vaduthala, which is the sole point of contact for ferries transporting passengers to and from Korumkotta, has come as a saving grace for the 89 families on the remote island. We held discussions with Cheranallur panchayat and decided to allocate `6 lakh from the corporation’s plan fund to renovate the waiting area.

Renovation of the waiting shed was delayed by a proposal to build a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
