Kerala High Court rejects plea for shifting capital to Thrissur

The Kerala High Court on Monday dismissed a public interest litigation seeking a directive to relocate the State capital from Thiruvananthapuram to Thrissur. The petition was filed by Pothujanasakhi, an organised based at Udayamperoor, Ernakulam. According to it, a study done by the petitioner revealed that the appropriate place for the capital was Thrissur which was located in the middle of the State. The administration of the State would be easier from Thrissur than from Thiruvananthapuram.
