Kerala airstrip project study gets green signal

Cutting through the bureaucratic hurdles, the department has issued the work order to Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board Consultancy-Rail India Technical and Economic Service (KIIFCON-RITES), a joint venture, authorising it to commence the feasibility study.

Although the JV had won the bid last June, the awarding of the work order was dragged out by procedural confusion, with Kerala Rail Development Corporation Ltd (KRDCL), the project management consultancy, insisting it had no powers to grant the order.
