Description
Description | The Anakkampoyil-Kalladi-Meppadi tunnel is a ₹2,134-crore project aimed at providing an alternative route between Kozhikode and Wayanad by bypassing the landslide-prone Thamarassery Ghat road. The two-lane tunnel is expected to improve connectivity and reduce travel time between the two districts. The project has faced opposition due to its passage through ecologically sensitive terrain in the Western Ghats and concerns over environmental risks. The recent Wayanad landslide has been linked by the Kerala agriculture minister to unscientific dumping of excavated soil from this tunnel project. |
