The shutting down of the office was attributed to several reasons, including the future of the proposed Light Metro project. As of now, the DMRC has been able to construct a T-shape overbridge at Payyanakkal in connection with the Light Metro project. But a daunting task awaits the Revenue Department in the form of land acquisition. Special Tahsildar (City Road Development) S. Muraleedharan Pillai, who is in charge of the acquisition procedures for Light Metro, said that the total compensation package, roughly worked out, was ?25 crore. The State government’s decision on Wednesday to revive the Light Metro may have cleared the uncertainty that loomed over the future of the proposed ?2,500-crore project for Kozhikode city.
