IT workers demand new greenfield roads to Infopark after fatal bus crash

A fatal incident on November 4, 2026, when a private bus struck a woman on the narrow, footpath‑less stretch of the IMG Junction‑Infopark road, has intensified calls for safer routes to Kochi’s Infopark IT hub. Pratidhwani, a welfare group of IT professionals, highlighted that the congested, potholed roads and reckless bus driving pose serious risks to the roughly <b>1 lakh</b> commuters who use the corridor daily. The group urges the Thrikkakara municipality, Public Works Department, Kerala Road Fund Board and traffic police to build parallel greenfield roads through vacant plots, redesign IMG Junction with a roundabout, and consider overbridges or flyovers. Sajan John, former COO of Kochi Water Metro Limited, added that the 1.50‑km IMG Junction‑Infopark corridor is a bottleneck for tens of thousands of people, and he calls for urgent government intervention and a comprehensive traffic re‑arrangement plan.
