Kannur: Though the authorities keep on promising that the proposed airport in Mattannur will become a reality before 2016, they still have no idea regarding the roads that need to be developed to connect to the airport. The officials are still in dark as to which would be the main road to the airport from Kannur town -- the existing road from Chovva or the proposed Greenfield Road.
"Since there are differences of opinion among the people about the Greenfield Road, the government has decided to do a satellite survey of the existing road as well as the proposed road to take a decision," said district collector Rathan Kelkar. "The survey is yet to start and this underscores the uncertainty over the issue."
But those who oppose the Greenfield Road say there is no question of uncertainty, and the proposal for the Greenfield Road was the cause of all confusion.
