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.

Inflows into sector/thematic funds inched up to Rs 2,052.48 crore in May from Rs 2,000.95 crore in the previous month. Retail mutual fund folios (equity + hybrid + solution oriented schemes) stood at 18.84 crore in May 2025 as against 18.71 crore in April. Inflows into debt MFs and hybrid funds Debt mutual fund schemes saw outflows to the tune of Rs 15,908.48 crore in May, compared with inflows worth Rs 2.19 lakh crore in April. Outflows in the segment were majorly witnessed in liquid funds (Rs 40,205.36 crore) and overnight funds (Rs 8,120.03 crore). However, corporate bond funds saw inflows of Rs 11,983.35 crore, while money market funds recorded Rs 11,223.08 crore of flows on a net basis. Net inflows into hybrid funds stood at Rs 20,765.05 crore, compared to Rs 14,247.55 crore inflows in April.
