In Kerala’s Kochi city, work on the Edappally flyover will begin in four months, the State Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said. All the paper work would be ready in two weeksÂ’ time. The State government would formulate a special package to overcome hurdles in acquiring land for infrastructure projects, Chandy said. The package will include relaxing of building rules for those who surrender land free of cost.
Augmenting basic infrastructure like roads was key to economic development and job creation, he said. He was speaking after inaugurating the four-laning of the Seaport-Airport Road and laying the foundation stone for RBDCKÂ’s mall at Kakkanad in Kochi on May 23.
The CM said land acquisition to develop the Thammanam-Pullepady Road as a four-lane one was expected to cost Rs 200 crore. The road widening project would cost Rs 14 crore. Similarly, the land acquisition for a new road linking NH Bypass with Airport-Seaport Road would cost Rs 275 crore. The project cost would be Rs 50 crore.
