THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Congress leader V M Sudheeran demanded that the M C Road should be renamed after Oommen Chandy. Sudheeran has sent a letter to the chief minister requesting this. His letter said let the M C Road be known as O C Road in future. Sudheeran also requested the chief minister to take the necessary steps as early as possible.

The people of Kerala paid homage to the popular former chief minister Oommen Chandy which the state had never seen before. The funeral procession accompanying the mortal remains from Puthupally House in Thiruvananthapuram to Puthupally via MC Road was unparalleled. The letter said the reaction of the people, young and old, is that MC Road will actually become Oommen Chandy Road.
