Nambikulam hill station development project in limbo

Many works remaining incomplete even after four years

Even after four years, a major tourism development project initiated by the Tourism Department at the Nambikulam hill station in Koorachundu is nowhere near completion.

The majority of the proposed works in the first phase are yet to begin in the area which is now in a state of neglect with no proper surveillance or maintenance.

Though the department had sanctioned ₹1.5 crore for the development of various facilities in the popular eco-tourism spot, only the works of a watch tower and a ticket counter were partly completed at the spot. Other major works such as the construction of a cafeteria, rain shelters, gates, hand rails, fences, bio toilets and office building have been pending for many years.
