Cong. backs Wayanad tunnel road project with a rider

T. Siddique, MLA, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) working president, has said that his party will not oppose the construction of the proposed Anakkampoyil-Meppadi tunnel road, an alternative to the Thamarassery Ghat Road linking Kozhikode and Wayanad districts, if the project did not damage the biodiversity of the region.

The project envisages the construction of a 6.8-km tunnel on the Anakkampoyil-Kalladi-Meppadi route to decongest the Ghat Road.

Speaking to mediapersons here on Wednesday, Mr. Siddique said the party would not oppose the proposed project if the social and environmental impact studies favoured it.
