The claim of the KGS Aranmula International
Airport Limited that the company has completed all formalities for setting up
the private airport in Aranmula is suspicious and misleading, Thiruvaranmula
Paithruka Grama Karma Samiti (TPGKS) president K. Haridas has said.
In a statement here on Saturday, he alleged that
the company official’s announcement on the proposal to set up a special
economic zone in Aranmula amounted to challenging the government. The three
villages of Aranmula, Mallappuzhassery and Kidangannur were declared industrial
areas through the backdoor, keeping people in the dark, he alleged. Mr. Haridas
said the government should clarify whether the announcement of the private
company was with the knowledge of the State authorities.
He said the vacation court here had issued an
injunction order preventing the KGS Group from entering the illegally converted
portion of paddy land in Aranmula. The Kerala High Court too had maintained
that no construction activity be carried out there without complying with legal
formalities. He said the people of Aranmula would never permit construction of
the proposed airport by converting paddy lands.
