Land cleared for monorail depot.

Decks have been cleared for transferring 7.89 hectares of land for setting up the depot of the monorail, a mass rapid transit system (MRTS) mooted for the capital city, near Technocity at Pallippuram.

The Taluk Land Board, headed by Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) S. Karthikeyan, recently dismissed the claim of Company De-Mendez that the land identified for setting up the depot was not surplus as per revenue records and that it belonged to them.

The RDO issued the orders after hearing the group which had approached the High Court against the decision of the government.

“The land is reserved for public purpose,” the RDO said.
