Puthusserimala Residents Face Serious Travel Woes

Puthusserimala is a small village and lies between Ranni and Vadaserikkara. The road route to this place is one which cuts from the main Ranni - Vadaserikkara bus route and the road to Puthusserimala cuts before Edakulam and there are some bus which ply on these routes. Since a long time, the residents of Puthusserimala has been facing problems with the non availability of public transport through the route.

Even the few buses that are operating through route are not keeping proper time schedules and as a result a lot of employees, students and common people are suffering. The first bus comes to Puthusserimala at 8:30 AM and this is the bus from Ranni to Vadaserikkara. The first bus towards Ranni comes at 9 AM, which is a major worry for the majority of the students who study at Ranni. The bus at 9 AM towards Ranni is actually of no use for the students and the employees as they would not be able to reach their destinations on time.

The same is the case for the employees and the students when they come back from their offices and schools. There is not bus at the required time and as a result the common people are not able to reach their home on time. The last bus towards Puthusserimala is at 5.25 PM and after this one has to look for some other means of transport to get back home. Only two private bus and one KSRTC operates on this route, which tells the bad side of the story. A KSRTC that operates from Vadaserikkara via Puthusserimala towards Kottayam was started just before the recently conducted election, but its life span was too short.

When no buses are available in Puthusserimala one has to walk 3 km towards the Mandiram junction to catch the bus. However the authorities are planning to take this issue seriously and would be putting the matter infront of the Pathanamthitta RTO. Hope that the travel woes of Puthusserimala Residents are solved at the earliest.
