Village tourism should be further promoted by including temples and mosques. There should be more centers for sports training in the government sector. Film star Prashanth Alexander shared development ideas at the Navakerala Citizen Response Program. Prashanth shared development ideas with the Karma Sena members who came to his house in Mallappally as part of the program.
As a resident of the banks of the Manimala River, he shared the difficulties caused by the overflowing of the Manimala River and the floods of 2018. The sand accumulates in the river, reducing the depth of the river and obstructing its flow. To avoid the problems caused by water entering the river, the government should intervene and take steps to remove the sand in the river and deepen it without harming the environment. The roads in the state are of good quality. However, he also suggested that more safety boards and traffic lights be installed on roads like the Mallappally-Thuruthikadu road, which are prone to accidents.
Volunteers visited the parsonage of St. Andrews Marthoma Church, Mallappally Pariyaram, and collected opinions from Rev. Sanjeev. He said that Kerala has improved in the areas of health, education and infrastructure. Since the roads are getting crowded, footpaths should be provided everywhere for pedestrians to walk safely. Encroaching shops should be removed. He also said that the government should take positive steps to reduce drug use among the youth.
The vicar of Mallappally Holy Emmanuel CSI Church, Rev. Shaji. M. Johnson, was visited at the parsonage and information was collected.
He highlighted the leap forward in the health sector. However, the management is finding it difficult to run some hospitals in the private sector. He also said that government assistance should be provided to these. Karma Sena members T. K. Girish, M. K. Parvathy, faculty members K. M. Abraham, P. N. Rajan, K. J. Chacko, and thematic expert Ranjini also participated in the house visit.
