The construction of an apartment complex at Paravur in Alappuzha under the Livelihood Inclusion and Financial Empowerment (LIFE) Mission is making slow progress.
H. Salam, MLA, raised the issue at the District Development Committee (DDC) meeting held here on Saturday. The meeting directed the officials concerned to accelerate the construction.
The housing complex is being constructed on 2.15 acres of land for 156 families. The foundation stone for the complex with two seven-storey blocks was laid by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in March 2020. Initially, the work got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources said the project was further hit by cost escalation. The contractor had demanded to revise the cost estimate of the project. While the foundation of the complex was almost completed, the rest of the works were pending.
