Govt. approves land acquisition for development of Muttar-FACT Road

The government has approved land acquisition for the development of Muttar-FACT Road in Eloor municipality.

Around 410 cents will be acquired for the first phase of the road development project. The Revenue department has permitted the District Collector to acquire the land under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, according to a release.

The road will be developed at 15-metre width as per the alignment plan. P. Rajeeve, Minister for Industries, said the project would get a boost with the land acquisition. The road from FACT Junction to Muttar bridge has a length of 3.5 km. The existing road with narrow width often causes in traffic snarls, especially during peak hours.

The State Budget for 2023-24 had included an assistance of ₹5 crore as token advance for widening the road.
