New contractor asked to complete project in 18 months
Work on the much-delayed Cochin Cancer Research Centre at Kalamassery could resume by the month-end once the legal hurdles are cleared as per the estimates by Infrastructure Kerala Ltd. (Inkel), which is implementing the project. The case filed by the contractor, whose contract was terminated for delay and poor work, is expected to come up before a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on August 24. Inkel had floated a new tender after the services of the contractor were terminated by the funding agency Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) on January 31. Mohanlal, Managing Director of Inkel, said that the new contractor had received the work order to complete the project within 18 months. The preparatory works are complete, he said.More Related News
