Construction of phase II of key road set to begin in July
T'puram: The construction of the second reach of Vazhayila-Nedumangad road is set to commence in July. The tender for this phase, covering the stretch from Karakulam to Valicode, will be floated next month, said officials related to the project.
The process of compensation to landowners affected by the project is progressing. Of 312 landowners in the second reach, compensation to 177 has been fully disbursed.
The awarding process to another 25 landowners is underway at the district collectorate, and disbursal to these persons is expected to begin next week. Officials expect to complete compensation to the remaining landowners by July, thereby enabling govt to proceed with the tender process as planned. Under existing rules, at least 80% of landowners must be compensated before moving forward with tendering for road construction.
Food and civil supplies minister GR Anil, who is overseeing the project, said govt is committed to completing the entire stretch before its tenure ends. "Compensation awarding of second reach will be completed by July, and the tender for the third reach will begin in Sep. We expect the entire stretch from Vazhayila to Nedumangad to be completed by the first quarter of 2026," Anil told TOI.
