Bus Terminal-cum-shopping Complex of International Standards at Kakkanad, Cochin

In a move that could be termed as the first step to turn Kakkanad into the land of Smart City, the district panchayat has come up with a proposal to set up a bus terminal-cum-shopping complex at Kakkanad, where all the buses passing through Kochi will enter.

Planned to be built on a Build Operate Transfer basis, the terminal on a par with international standards in a six-acre plot adjacent to the present bus stand, is considered to be a substitute for the much-awaited Vyttila bus terminal.

However, district panchayat president P S Shyla said at a press conference here on Sunday that the new stand would not be a substitute for the Vyttila bus terminal.

‘‘The Vyttila bus terminal is still on the anvil and the Agriculture Department, which owns the land where the Vyttila terminal is proposed to set up, has agreed to hand over the land, provided the Kerafed office is allowed to continue there.

The paper works in this regard are getting under way,’’ she said. There were reports that the Vyttila project had been hampered by the stubborn attitude of the Agriculture Department.

The district panchayat is all set to submit the proposal for the new bus terminal for approval, and if given the nod, the project will be implemented in a year.

Five Star Village

MARADU, a quiet panchayat about 10 km from Kochi city, has now become a beehive of activity for realtors and builders. Often referred to as a five-star panchayat because of the presence of the five-star hotel Le Meridien, Maradu has become the cynosure of the eyes of all the leading builders in the last few years.

When Kochi Refineries (KRL) started functioning in the sixties at Ambalamugal, it had built a road from Maradu to transport materials. The Vyttila- Aroor bypass in the eighties increased the pace of development. But it was not until the construction of Galfar International Convention Centre in 1999 that real development started. Apart from the Le Meridien, Maradu now boasts of super-speciality Lakeshore Hospital, several premium hotels and a schools. KRL, now BPCL, has its corporate office in Maradu. The arrival of seaport-airport road passing through Maradu has increased its marketability. A unique feature of Maradu is that it is accessible by road from the districts of Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki and Thrissur.

Residential:

Large tracts of marshy land are now being filled up for building residential apartments. Several Builders have come up with Highrise Projects and Villas above Rs 1-crore. The going rate is between Rs 1,850 and Rs 2,000 per sq ft. With the state government restricting the floor area ratio (FAR) to two at the outskirts of the city, the rates may go up again, say builders. Villas and flats facing backwaters lining the borders of Maradu are in high demand. The area’s popularity has gone up with cricketer Sreesanth moving to a waterfront apartment in Maradu.

Commercial:

The commercial prospects of the place are yet to be exploited fully. The rentals now average between Rs 10 and 15 per sq ft. But it is in for an explosive growth with the Shobha Group announcing Rs 5,000 crore integrated knowledge park. Expected to come up in five years, the park will comprise a township with IT, biotech and electronics companies. KGA Group of Kuwait, in association with Intercontinental Group, is also building a five-star Crowne Plaza hotel at a cost of Rs 220 crore.

Retail:

At present, the retail space here is limited to big swanky car showrooms, including those of Mercedes Benz, Toyota and General Motors, and steel companies, all dotting the bypass to Aroor in Alappuzha. Emirates has shifted its office to Maradu. The rentals are around Rs 20 per sq ft. Abad Group is planning a mall with a multiplex at Maradu, likely to come up in two years. The rates may see an upswing then.

Transhipment terminal: 'Work on railway line will be over in time'

KOCHI: District Collector A P M Mohammed Hanish said that the construction of the proposed railway line connecting Vallarpadom International Container Transshipment Terminal with Edappally would be completed within the scheduled time.

‘‘The piling work for the railway bridge is progressing at the backwaters between the project area and Mulavuklad island.

Construction work on land will begin only after this. The land acquisition will be completed before the construction work touches the mainland,’’ Hanish said.

He said that the required land would be acquired after holding discussion with the landowners. ‘‘The base value of the land to be acquired will be announced before June 30.

The District-Level Purchase Committee will hold discussion with the landowners to finalise the land price. The Land Acquisition Act will be used only if the landowners refuse to hand over the land,’’ he said.

The State Government has to hand over 49.4 acres of land for the proposed railway line constructed by the Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL).

Of this, 17.3 acres of land is owned by private parties.The construction work on the railway line was inaugurated two months ago. But the RVNL is not able to proceed the work as the land has not been handed over to them.

Besides, the residents of Vaduthala are going on with their strike as they did not get any official intimation regarding the rehabilitation package announced by the State Government. The project is to be completed before April, 2009.

Vineeta is right. The opening of the stores is there in today's paper (cant find a link). Interesting to note that the CPM party members inaugurated them.
