CM lays foundation stone for KTDC’s five-star beach resort at Muzhappilangad
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said land will be acquired for the 600-km inland waterway from Kovalam to Bekal on stretches with no natural path.
He was laying the foundation stone for a five-star beach resort being built by the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC) at Muzhappilangad here on Saturday.
He said land would have to be acquired for waterways at some stretches in Vadakara, Kannur, and Kasaragod. “This is a government that understands the difficulties of land acquisition in densely populated Kerala. But land acquisition is a must for the development of the country. Adequate compensation and rehabilitation will be ensured for those who give up their land,” Mr. Vijayan said.
