The State government has accorded sanction for the acquisition of 11.15 hectares of land in Kodenchery and Thiruvambady villages in Kozhikode district for the construction of the proposed Anakkampoyil-Meppadi tunnel road project. Negotiable purchase is likely to be considered after holding talks with private landowners in the identified project area.
“The only remaining technical hurdle is the clearance from the Forest department, which is expected soon as we have already complied with all the required demands for sanction,” said Thiruvambadi MLA Linto Joseph. He said the required extent of land to compensate for the loss of forest area to be acquired for the project was handed over to the Forest department in Wayanad district.
