Angamaly (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a municipality in the Ernakulam district of Kerala, India.[1] Angamaly is part of the Kochi metropolitan area and is located northeast of the Kochi city centre. As of the 2011 Indian census, the municipality has a population of 33,465 people and a population density of 1,633/km2 (4,230/sq mi).
History
Several old coins and other artifacts demonstrate that this region was predominantly Buddhist and Jain. Malayatoor Church, an international shrine, is located nearby. Tradition states that Thomas the Apostle visited the region from Kodungaloor port in AD 52.[3] There is evidence of churches in the locality built as early as AD 409 and AD 822.[4] Angamaly was the headquarters of Mar Abraham, the last East Syriac bishop of the Archdiocese of Angamaly.[5]
Originally established as a panchayat in May 1952, Angamaly became a municipality in April 1978 and has been a Ernakulam Assembly constituency since 1965. The area is known for the 1959 Angamaly police firing in which police fired upon protesters who had been demonstrating against Kerala's communist government.[citation needed]
Angamaly police firing
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The Angamaly police firing took place on 13 June 1959, when police opened fire on protesters who had been demonstrating against Kerala's communist government. Seven people were killed, resulting in the intensification of Vimochana Samaram, a protest against the then-communist government.[6]
Infrastructure
Angamaly is situated at the intersection of the Main Central Road and National Highway 544, about Template:Cvt north of the city centre and 7 km from Cochin International Airport.
Angamaly railway station is the fifth-busiest in Greater Kochi in terms of passengers and revenue generated, after Ernakulam Junction railway station, Ernakulam Town railway station, Aluva railway station and Tripunithura railway station.[citation needed] A proposed railway line from Sabarimala to Angamaly has been slowed by regional and political issues. The project was revitalized in January 2021 when the Government of Kerala agreed to bear half the cost of the project.[7]
National Highway 544, which connects Kanyakumari to Salem, passes through Angamaly. NH 17, which connects Kochi and Mumbai, is 20 km from Angamaly. The Main Central Road that connects central Kerala to the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram terminates in Angamaly.[8] A 46 km bypass has been proposed to connect Kundannoor to Angamaly. Land acquisition was set to begin in late 2018.[9][needs update]Template:DMCA
