Pathanamthitta Bus Stand in a Messy State

The Pathanamthitta private bus stand has brought of lot of shame to the authorities, especially once the monsoon has set its hold in Kerala. The bus stand now looks like a swimming pool and people can't even walk through the bus stand to board on the buses. 

This is mainly due to the low quality of the construction and bad planning. A town like Pathanamthitta should be ashamed to have a bus stand of such kind.

A lot of trolls have been made on various social media channels regarding the pathetic state of Pathanamthitta bus stand and yet there has not been any major actions from the side of the authorities.

The Ring Roads Have Really Changed the Face of Pathanamthitta Town

10 years back, it was almost a nightmare of travelling through Pathanamthitta town as the traffic inside the town was horrible. If we were to go by bus, then we would have to face a huge traffic block as the old Pathanamathitta private bus stand was in the center of the town. The roads inside the town were always jammed with traffic and this caused much difficulty in reaching the old private bus stand. Even if you are going by your own vehicle, you would feel frustrated due to the ugly traffic inside the town.

But the arrival of ring roads around Pathanamthitta town has changed it all, as the new ring roads have reduced the traffic block inside Pathanamthitta town. The ring road made it easier for those who had to pass through Pathanamthitta town to reach other places such as Adoor, Kollam, Trivandrum, Punalur, Thiruvalla etc. They no longer need to pass through the hear of Pathanamthitta town and instead they just got the route through the outer area of the town. This has brought the traffic more systematic and under control, as only the private buses that need to go to the bus stand had to enter the town center.

This was even more improved by the inauguration of the new Municipal Private bus stand, which is situated near the KSRTC bus stand in Pathanamthitta. The new Municipal bus stand in Pathanamthitta was one of the biggest in the nearby areas and was situated along the ring road. The inauguration of the new private bus stand in Pathanmthitta made sure that no more buses passed through the center of the town and reducing the traffic inside the town considerably.

The rign roads have also brought new development to Pathanamthitta town such as shopping complexes, new buildings, Muthoot Hospital etc. The real estate price in Pathanamthitta has also got a positive uplift with the arrival of ring road. The lands and properties which were considered junk before the arrival of the ring roads started getting more value in the real estate market and the overall prices of land and building in Pathanamthitta started peaking. More and more developments can be expected in Pathanamthitta in the coming days.

Pandalam Palace - A Must Visit Destination in Pathanamthitta

Pathanathitta is home to some of the ancient palaces and temples which has become a attraction point for many travelers. One such amazing palace in Pathanamthitta which attract everyone is the famous Pandalam Palace, which is situated near Pandalam town.  The Pandalam Palace is the home for the royal family of Pandalam and is situated on the banks of river Achankovil

The present Pandalam Palace has lost most of its ancient charm and beauty as  some portions of the palace got destroyed due to flood and fire that occured in the course of time. The Pandalam Palace has been reconstructed since then, but you can see the ancient remains of the old palace among the new buildings. There are two main temples inside the Pandalam Palace known as Valiyakoikkal Temple and the Kaipuzha Temple.

The heritage Pandalam Kingdom is believed to be built around 903 AD and it was formed by the Pandalam Royal Family. The Pandalam Royal Family were the   descendents of the Pandya kings of Madurai and belongs to the 'bhargava gothra'. Pandalam Palace has a legendary  connection with Lord Ayyapoa and Sabarimala. As per the legends Lord Ayyappan of Sabarimala had his human sojourn at Pandalam as the son of the Pandalam King.

During the Sabarimala Pilgrimage season,  a large number of devotee visits the Valiyakoikkal Temple and three days prior to Makaravilaku festival, the sacred ornaments of Lord Ayyappa are taken to Sabarimala as a procession. The procession follows a traditional path which covers other major areas before finally reaching Sabarimala.

Some Major Weaknesses of Pathanamthitta District

Pathanamthitta is one of the most beautiful and literate district in Kerala and is home to some of the major spiritual destinations in Kerala. There are also many hot spots in Pathanamthitta which are less known to the outer world. Pathanamthitta has developed a lot since the last decade and is still developing. Pathanamthitta is a district which has reported the least number of communal violence in the history of Kerala. This makes the district one of the best place to live.

Apart from these, there are many things and weaknesses that the district is having. The list may be too long if we ask different persons and hence I have decided to put forward my opinions only. Below given are some of the major weaknesses of Pathanamthitta in my opinion.

1) Industrial Backwardness
Pathanamthitta district as a whole is industrially backward and there are no real opportunities for the highly educated guys to work in their own district. This make the educated people and entrepreneurs to move out of  Pathanamthitta.

2) Least Explored Tourism Potential
Pathanamthitta is a district with amazing landscape and beauty and has all the essential things needed for a great  tourist destination. But unfortunately, the tourism potential of Pathanamthitta is not yet explored to its fullest  and this deprives the district from getting additional income.

3) Bad Facilities for Pilgrims
Pathanamthitta is home to some of the major pilgrimage centers in Kerala and as a result a lot pilgrimage visit the  district on an annual basis. But the irony is that despite a huge flow of pilgrims, there has not been any steps  from the government to enhance the pilgrimage tourism in the district. Added to this the facilities offered to the  pilgrims are also poor.

4) Lack of Agricultural Product Processing
Eventhough Pathanamthitta is home to a variety of agricultural products and produces them on a regular basis. In spite of these there are no agricultural  product processing units in the district which again deprives the district from getting additional revenue

5) Lack of Development in IT
Even though majority of the people in Pathanamthitta are having knowledge in computers and IT related matters, the IT development of the district is not upto the mark. Even the government has also not taken any initiatives for the IT development of the district.

6) Lack of Quality Roads
There are a large number of roads passing through Pathanamthitta and most of them are in better shape when compared with other districts. But Pathanamthitta  still lacks quality roads that meet the national standards.

Pathanamthitta Private Bus Stand Have Become a Pool of Dirty Water

The new Pathanamthitta Private bus stand almost look like a lake of dirty water which make the matter more worse for travelers. The road metals inside the bus stand have been scattered and as a result huge poth holes have developed in all areas of the private bus stand in Pathanamthitta. By the arrival of the monsoon in 2001, the state of the private bus stand in Pathanamthita have become even worse. The drivers of the bus which enters the bus stand have to show their skills  as they are forced to jump from one poth hole to another, risking the health of the travellers.

When the bus stand was inaugurated, it was initially filled with sand and then metal was covered over it. In the summer time, people had to fight it out with the heavy dust that prevailed inside the private bus stand in Pathanamathitta. The authorities had promised to tar the bus stand completely once everything was settled, but even after 3 years since the promise, nothing have done so far.

A total of 5 acres was taken by the Pathanamthitta municipality for constructing the new private bus stand. Most of the areas especially the boundaries of the bus stand are filled with thorny bushes which have not be ever tried to be cut down by the authorities. The Municipal council have decided to metal the bus stand shortly and a tender has also been given for the same.
