LA requisition submitted to DC, Malappuram on 28.10.2021. Joint site inspection was conducted with Hon. MLA & Municipal Chairman on 01.12.2021. In this meeting, they requested to change the starting point in the alignment approximately 100m towards Palakkad side (Police station side). Since this alignment is already approved by KIIFB, RBDCK had requested Hon. MLA to take up the matter with KIIFB and the alignment can be changed only with the concurrence of KIIFB. ED KIIFB visited the site on 13.02.2022. KIIFB was directed to conduct a fresh traffic survey for analysing the feasibility of Flyover. RBDCK requested KIIFB for the sanction of additional amount for the traffic survey on 31.03.2022. On 06.06.2022, KIIFB directed to avoid 3-legged flyover proposal and also informed that it is better to develop the junction instead of flyover and widen the existing road to 4 lane. RBDCK informed that same to Hon. MLA on 10.06.2022 and instructed to DPR consultant to conduct a traffic survey at the earliest and to analyse whether 2-legged flyover or 3-legged flyover or junction development is suitable. Traffic survey completed on 11.08.2022 and report submitted by DPR consultant on 09.09.2022. RBDCK had submitted the same to KIIFB on 16.09.2022. KIIFB vide letter dated 01.11.2022 informed that proposal for flyover may be considered later. KIIFB had conducted a meeting with the presence of Hon’ble MLA on 19.11.2022 and informed that the land acquisition for widening of the junction and existing road can be considered now and also pointed out that the flyover proposal can be consider later, without any further land acquisition. Hence, KIIFB has suggested RBDCK to proceed with the land acquisition procedure. Hon. MLA requested to proceed with land acquisition upto Police station junction. Accordingly revised alignment was submitted to KIIFB on 11.05.2023. KIIFB informed that extension of alignment can be only consider if free surrender of land as agreed by Malappuram Kottapadi Town Development Forum. The same was informed to MLA & Malappuram Kottapadi Town Development Forum. Malappuram Kottappadi Town Development Forum informed on 12.09.2023 that as per our approved alignment width is too large, therefore they are not willing to free surrender the land. If the alignment of widening of existing road width is reduced to 18m they are willing to free surrender the land. Same was informed to KIIFB on 14.09.2023.On 18/10/2023 KIIFB informed not to alter the approved Alignment and additional 200m only considered if the land owners are willing to surrender their land at free of cost (18m). The same is informed to the MLA. Awaiting reply. |
