Parking lot to accommodate 250 cars; ₹3.35 crore earmarked for land lease fee

The State government has announced that ₹6 crore will be allocated for the construction of a parking lot adjacent to the Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary, according to the Kerala High Court. This facility aims to accommodate 250 cars. Out of the total sum, ₹3.35 crore will be utilized for the land lease fee, while the remaining amount will be dedicated to the construction of the parking lot.

Peeyus A. Kottam, the president of the Kerala High Court Advocates’ Association, assured the court that the project would be finished by November 1, ensuring its completion in time for the 'Kerala Piravi' celebrations. The court is currently evaluating a petition for contempt of court filed by lawyer Suman Chakravarthy, who accused authorities of being unresponsive regarding a proposal to acquire more land for enhanced parking facilities near the High Court.
