Description

Uliyakovil is a neighbourhood of Kollam city that shares its borders with lake Ashtamudi. Previously there were two different municipal councils for this huge area (Uliyakovil West and Uliyakovil East), but they merged and formed a single council in 2005.[4] Some of the major city roads pass through this area.[5] One of the best CBSE school in Kollam district, City Central School,is situated at Uliyakovil. Sri Durga Bhagavathi Temple at Uliyakovil is a Hindu temple in the city.[6]

There was a proposal from Kollam Municipal Corporation and honorable MLA from Kollam constituency, P. K. Gurudasan for the preparation of a detailed project report for the construction of a bypass road connecting the Kollam-Theni National Highway-208 from Kollam city to Kundara via Nair’s Hospital junction, Uliyakovil, Mangad and Thannikkamukku, but the project still has not materialised.[7]
