Govt. sanctions ₹17 crore for Chaliyam fish landing centre development
Construction will begin after the land required for the project is transferred from the Forest department and the necessary clearances are obtained
The State government of India has granted administrative sanction for ₹17 crore to develop the Chaliyam fish landing centre in the Kozhikode district. The project, which is expected to begin after the necessary land transfer and clearances are obtained, includes the construction of an auction hall, a net-mending shed, a parking area, a canteen, toilets, and shops.
The land required for the project is currently owned by the Forest department, and an additional 1.5 acres will be provided for compensatory afforestation. The project also requires approval from the Coastal Regulation Zone authorities due to its location in a CRZ area. A local committee, comprising the area MLA and representatives of fishermen's organisations, has been proposed to oversee the removal of temporary structures at the project site.
The Fisheries Minister, V.E. Abdul Gafoor, informed the state assembly about these developments following a submission by P.A. Mohammed Riyas, MLA.
