Railfanning & Flyover Delay | Vivek Express, Raptisagar & a 7.5-Year Incomplete Bridge | Kerala 2025
(1) Akathethara Nadakkavu Flyover Delay | 7.5 Years & Still Incomplete | Who’s to Blame?
This is the Akathethara Nadakkavu Flyover in Palakkad, Kerala.
The foundation stone was laid way back in 2017… and now—seven and a half years later—this crucial project remains unfinished.

Yes, construction is technically happening…
But the pace? Painfully slow.
It feels as though time itself has come to a halt here.

❓ Who’s responsible for this delay?
Is it the Railways?
Or the State Government?

This rusty gate and the half-done flyover are reminders of a bygone era—symbols of broken promises and stalled development.

🚧 Nobody knows when it will finally be opened to the public.
But one thing is almost certain:
Just before the next state elections, it might suddenly come to life… ribbon, scissors, and photo ops ready.

Because let’s be honest—we the public rarely ask the tough questions.
And when someone does… it turns into the same old game:
👉 Railways blame the State Government.
👉 State Government blames the Railways.

🎯 Enough is enough.
If you know the real reason behind this unreasonable delay, share it in the comments.

Let’s start asking the questions that matter.
Let’s hold them accountable.

🛑 Because we deserve better.
