The metro extension, which starts from the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kaloor, will pass through Palarivattom, Padamugal and Pump junction to reach the Airport-Seaport Road and proceed to the Inforpark campus located at Chittethukara

Yes but on the other hand revenue officials said the process of land acquisition will be preceded by a survey on the encroachments along the Palarivattom-Kakkanad stretch as widening of the road is necessary before commencing civil works.

My sources inside the agency tell me that they are hoping that the proposal will get clearance from the Centre with Union Minister for Urban Development M. Venkaiah Naidu expressing the government’s willingness to extend all assistance to the plan

The process is like, once the report is approved by the State government, the plan will be sent for the consideration of the Union Government to commence the proceedings for acquiring land in the Palarivattom-Kakkanad stretch

Since the cost of establishing the 11.17-km extension is estimated to be around Rs.1,627 crore, excluding taxes, the state government’s nod is necessary to start working on the ways of mobilising the fund required for setting up the link

Yes, according to the officials of KMRL, the draft report will be submitted once Elias George, its Managing Director, returns after a visit to Germany.
