The article gives wrong information. Canolly Canal extends to Ponnani and further. The article mentions only a short reach of it. Rajamankkan 09:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Google maps shows that it only stretches through Ponnani. Because of this, it makes it a bit difficult for me to deorphan the article properly. --Sigma 7 (talk) 17:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The canoli canal runs from chavakkad to ponnani. Chavakkad became a main center of trade and commerce since it could establish navigational channels through Chettuva and Enamavu. The Canoli canal-built by the then Malabar collector Mr. Canoli – which connected the main trade centers like Kozhikkode, Ponnani. Chavakkad, Kodungallur and Kochi heightened the importance of Chavakkad as a trade center. Vanjikadavu at Chavakkad where goods were transacted had many godowns built by the businessman who had settled there. The weekly markets and cattle markets of Chavakkad were very famous. It was though Cannoli Canal that the postal service from Kochi to Kozhikode was done. For which there were postal boat services. Canoli Canal has played a major role in the development and establishment of chavakkad as a trade center. That's how Canoli Canal and Nadappalam became the official emblems of the municipality of Chavakkad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.178.193.30 (talk) 09:43, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
