CM promises time-bound completion of tunnel road project connecting Wayanad and Kozhikode districts

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the proposed four-lane tunnel road project on the Anakkampoyil-Kalladi-Meppadi route, an alternative for busy Thamarassery ghat road that connects Kozhikode and Wayanad districts, will be materialised in a time-bound manner.

Speaking after inaugurating the Navakerala Sadas here on Thursday, Mr. Vijayan said the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) would fund the project and Konkan Railway Corporation Limited had been directed to draft a blueprint for the ₹2,334-crore worth project.

A package of ₹6,700 crore had been announced for the overall development of the district and comprehensive projects in health, education, animal husbandry and dairy development sectors were being executed as a part of it, the Chief Minister said.
