District collector P.I. Sheik Pareeth said that the land acquisition for the first phase of Metro Rail project will begin in a month.

He was addressing mediapersons at the civil station, on Monday.

The administration has asked the government to acquire the land under dispute on MG Road, Banerji Road and South railway station, for the project.

The proposed land will be acquired on the basis of the Land Acquisition Act and the land owners would be given Rs 40 lakh a cent.

Nine cents on MG Road, 67 on Banerji Road and 17 on South Railway Station Road will be acquired.
The acquisition will not affect the shops on MG Road.

But about 85 shops on Banerji Road will be hit and another 88 units on South Railway Station Road will be displaced.

Both the roads have shops, education institutions, hospitals, banks, petrol pumps, government offices, staff quarters and other establishments on them.

The MRC proposal to widen the road from Vyttila to Petta will remain at 26 metres.

The widening may go up to 30 metres depending on the availability of land.

The three projects of GIDA to construct bridges at Kothadu, Chathandu and Moolampilly islands will be undertaken by the Kochi Metro Rail Corporation. The officials will visit the place soon.

The district collector said the North railway overbridge will be completed by October.
