KOCHI: The construction of two more houses under the 'Thanal' housing project, mooted by Hibi Eden MLA as part of Cheram Chernalloorinoppam campaign, was completed and handed over to the beneficiaries.
Verapoly Archbishop Joseph Kalathiparambil handed over the keys of the houses to Leela John Vadassery who is a resident of Cheranalloor Grama Panchayath's 12th ward and Pushpa Subramanian of the 13th ward. The Bishop said he was really happy with the progress of the programme implemented by Hibi. The houses were sponsored by Sree Sathya Sai Orphanage Trust.
