Excise identifies 15 locations in Ernakulam for public to ‘RELACZ’
The plan is to set up facilities such as open gym, volleyball court, reading room, or hangouts at the locations in collaboration with the Local Self-Government department
The Excise department in Kerala has identified 15 locations in Ernakulam district for potential recreational spaces, as part of their efforts against the spread of intoxicating substances. This is a key component of their 100-day action plan. Each of the 15 spots, located in government land, has been identified within different Excise ranges across the district.
Collaborations with the Local Self-Government department are planned, with possibilities including open gyms, volleyball courts, reading rooms, or social hangouts. The projects are expected to be funded through corporate social responsibility schemes or sponsorships. In Kochi city, Marine Drive is earmarked for a facility. Other proposed sites include Aanapparambu in Eroor, Chellanam and Kuzhuppilly in Mattancherry, and several others in various panchayats and ranges.
However, the department has emphasized that this is just an initial list and feasibility studies will be conducted in consultation with local bodies. All this is to be accomplished before the October 10 deadline.
