Thiruvananthapuram : The Tourism Department is implementing Thalassery Special Project using KIIFB funds, said PWD Minister PA Mohamed Riyas in the Assembly in response to query put up by MLA K. V. Subhash. KIIFB has lend approval for a total of 28 developmental projects, of which it has allotted Rs 1 crore toward renovation of ancient mosque of Kakukalara in Vallapattanam, the minister said.
Kerala Irrigation Infrastructure Development Corporation(KIIDC) is in charge of the project. Although tender had been floated four times, KIIDC failed to find a bidder. Under the circumstance, the nodal agency decided to invite quotations and fix contractors. KIIDC then informed of the lowest quote having been approved at meeting held on 15 September 2021. Steps have been taken to commence project work, said Mohamed Riyas.
