Trivandrum Aeropolis project gathering steam

Thiruvananthapuram: The Trivandrum Aeropolis project envisaged with Trivandrum International Airport at the centre of activity is gathering steam with chief minister OommenChandy calling a meeting on August 2 to discuss the matter with potential stakeholders.
This year's budget had allocated funds to the tune of Rs 846 crore for 10 major infrastructure projects in the state and five of those projects are in the state capital -- Multi Modal Hub is one of the projects ready to receive funding, said health minister VS Sivakumar. "I held pre-budget discussions with the planning board because I believe the project is achievable. There is a corpus amount allotted for infrastructure projects to spend from, which is why it needs to take off immediately, to make use of the allocations disbursed on a first come first served basis," he said.
