THRISSUR, FEB. 7. A Website on Thrissur was launched by the Revenue Minister, K.M. Mani, at a function here on Saturday.

The Website (thrissur.nic.in) has been designed by the district administration in association with the local branch of the National Informatics Centre (NIC).

The site contains information on the history, geography and population of Thrissur, various Government departments, services offered by the Revenue Department, representatives of the people, local bodies, festivals and tourist centres.

Therambil Ramakrishnan, MLA, presided over the function. T.V. Chandramohan, MLA, the Collector, V.M. Gopala Menon, the district superintendent of police, G. Janardhanan Nair, the Government Pleader, V. Gopidas, and A.L. Sebastian of NIC were present on the occasion.
