Thiruvananthapuram: Will the airport near Sabarimala hill shrine
become reality soon? The answer seems to be yes, going by the
recent initiatives of the Kerala government.
On Wednesday, it kick-started the process to acquire 2,262 acres of land, which is in possession of the Believers Eastern Church Council, at Cheruvally Estate near Erumely in Kottayam district.
The estate lies 3km from Erumely town along the Erumely-Pathanamthitta state highway. Revenue department had advised that the land could be taken over as per the Centre's Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
Only 1,000 acres of the estate is required for the airport. The remaining land will be used for related activities.
The major obstacle, however, seems to be a pending case in the Kerala High Court over the land ownership. The government plans to overcome this by depositing the land's price at the court. Meanwhile, the Believers Church has said it is unaware of the land acquisition plans.
