Additional land identified at Kunnathunadu and Kizhakkambalam

KOCHI: The District Administration will acquire 167 acres more for the proposed Smart City project.

District Collector A.P.M. Mohammed Hanish said in a press release that additional land had been identified in Kunnathunadu and Kizhakkambalam.

He said the district administration would freeze all land transactions in those areas identified for development under the project.

A decision in this regard was taken during the high-level meeting on Smart City held at Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.

HUDCO meeting

Water Resources Minister N.K. Premachandran has convened a meeting of MPs, MLAs, and Mayor on August 24 to discuss the progress of a HUDCO-aided drinking water project in the city.

The Minister had called a meeting on July 1 to discuss the drinking water scarcity in Ernakulam district.

The meeting on the HUDCO project has been convened based on reports that work on the project has not been progressing according to the schedule.

The District Administration has re-organised the food advisory and vigilance wing as part of efforts to strengthen public distribution system in Ernakulam. The new committee will consist of members of student and youth organisations and members of SC/STs.

Each category can nominate one person to the committee.
