Chengannur Revenue Tower construction set to begin
The construction of a Revenue Tower, bringing all major government offices under one roof, is set to begin at Chengannur. It will be inaugurated by Revenue Minister K. Rajan in a function to be held at the old Taluk office compound at 11 a.m. on Thursday. The tower will be constructed on a 40-cent plot near the Chengannur court at a cost of ₹22.12 crore. The facility is designed to house various government services, including those of the RDO, taluk, village and sub-registrar offices, in one place. The decision to build the new facility was prompted by the recognition, during the 2018 floods, of the inadequate infrastructure in the revenue offices, including the taluk office, which had served as the central coordination hub for rescue operations in Chengannur. Following a proposal by Fisheries and Culture Minister Saji Cherian, the project was included in the Rebuild Kerala initiative. The four-storey building, designed in the Kerala architectural style, will have a total floor area of 56,640 sq ft. The ground floor will feature parking, a lobby and storage for voting machines. The first floor will accommodate the registration and village offices. The second floor will house the taluk office and election department, while the third floor will include the RDO conference hall. The fourth floor will accommodate the disaster management office, a conference hall, and a recreation area. In addition, the Revenue Tower will include rooms for storing equipment to be used during natural disasters, droughts, earthquakes or other emergencies; a modern record room; a strong room; a training hall; a cafeteria; and a rest room for staff. Mr. Cherian will preside over the function. Kodikunnil Suresh, MP, Alappuzha District Panchayat president K.G. Rajeshwari, Chengannur municipal chairperson Sobha Varghese, District Collector Alex Varghese and others will attend.
