Kochi Corporation Seeks Control of Parade and Santa Cruz Grounds from Revenue Department
The Kochi Corporation Council has passed a resolution seeking control over the historic Parade and Santa Cruz grounds in Fort Kochi, currently managed by the Revenue department. This move aims to improve maintenance and accessibility for youth sports, addressing complaints about neglect and misuse, including vehicle parking. The Corporation plans to fund upkeep through corporate social responsibility or the Centre's Urban Challenge Fund. Officials note that while rental income goes to the Revenue department, maintenance responsibilities fall on the Corporation, which has faced challenges in securing cooperation.
