It brings renewed hope of more than 2,000 families across Central Travancore, whose properties were marked for a long -waiting Sabari Rail project, and the income department decided to restore land.
Official sources said that online meeting at a high level convened by the state government on Wednesday ordered district collectors Ernakula, IDUKKI and Kottayam to continue to obtain the required land. As part of this renewed effort, previously functional offices will be reopened to obtain land in Perumbavoor and Pala, while the new offices will be set up to be set up in Muvattupuzha and Kanjirappy.
“It is expected that the project on the project is expected to start formally by visiting a high -level team from Indian railways at the beginning of next month,” the sources said. The meeting also decided to maintain the existing harmonization of the railway line. The project is planned in such a way that the acquisition and construction of land can continue at the same time.
24.4 of the hectares obtained
So far, 24.4 hectares of land has been obtained for the project in the Angamala – Kalady section. However, more than 200 hectares still need to be obtained in three districts.
In the first phase, the soil will be obtained from Kalalada to Ramapuram. The second phase covering the section from Ramapuram to Erumla will be followed by the completion of the surveys of the alignment and assessment of the Social Impact (SIA).
“For this purpose, a team of special income will be deployed,” the sources added.
Given that before the introduction of the right to fair compensation and transparency in obtaining, rehabilitation and relocation in 2013, the initial announcement for the project for the project was issued, the process will have to restart the process in accordance with the new legislation. According to officials, a new government order (GO) will soon be issued to acquire land to initiate proceedings.
