Amenities edit
The locality expanded since the mid-1980s, when many Gulf-returning Malayalis bought properties or built houses in this area of Thiruvananthapuram, which led to a property boom that was accentuated by the establishment of the Doordarshan Kendra nearby, as well as the accessibility of hospitals and private schools.
