Need to expedite approval to the Outer Ring Road Project from Vizhinjam to Navaikkulam in Kerala and disburse compensation to the landowners whose lands were acquired for the project-Laid ADV. ADOOR PRAKASH (ATTINGAL): Immediate attention of the Government is necessary to clear the uncertainty over the Outer Ring Road Project from Vizhinjam to Navaikkulam in Kerala. Union Government has granted in-principal approval to the DPR of this project but the environmental clearances issues have not been cleared yet. The inordinate delay in the approval for this project is causing great difficulties to the land owners whose property and land are earmarked. The land owners who voluntarily handed over the documents years ago are still waiting for compensation. Around 6500 land owners are suffering as they are unable to meet their emergency financial needs and they are agitating over the delay in disbursement of compensation. Immediate intervention of Union and State Government is required to resolve the issues and disbursement of compensation to the land owners. I request the Government to take necessary measures on priority and do final approval for this project without further delay.
