• Kazhakootam Project: Bus Stand Cum Commercial Complex:2.43 acres of land in the ownership of Technopark was to be transferred to TRIDA vide Government orders GO(Ms)No.29/2014/ITD dated 31.10.2014 and GO(Rt)No178/2015/ITD dated 04.08.2015, for constructing Bus bay/terminal, vesting the ownership of the land with Technopark. Bus bay/terminal, Commercial Complex, ladies hostel and parking plaza were the envisaged components of this project. Site clearance, soil investigation and soil work were done initially by M/s. Hindustan Prefab Ltd. (HPL). The land includes Thettiyar thode and thode puramboke area. Irrigation Department expressed their objection in diverting the natural course of Thettiyar thode. Application for building permit for the proposed bus station submitted on 30/08/2016. Although 2.43 acres of land was earmarked for the project, this was reduced to 2.09 acres after excluding 0.34 acres of puramboke land of Thettiyar thode cutting across the site vide GO(Rt)No.13/2018/E&ITD dated 19/01/2018. When TRIDA approached Technopark to enter into lease agreement for land transfer, they demanded Rs. 2.5 Crore as lease premium. This was later modified as 25% of commercial built up area. Land not transferred to TRIDA till date. TRIDA conducted a detailed feasibility study of this project in this area. Considering the site constraints like thodu puramboke cutting across the site, master plan provisions, site characteristics, classification as per BTR, development in NH bypass, and others, this project was found to be not feasible. A meeting was held by Hon. Minister of Tourism on 13/02/2019 along with departments like KSRTC, Irrigation, NATPAC, Technopark, LSGD, TVM Corporation and others; it was decided to formulate other proposals beneficial to Technopark as well as public. Although TRIDA formulated proposals, final approval is not yet obtained from Government.
