Phase-II road work hits roadblock

The development of the second phase of Karamana-Kaliyikkavila road has hit a major roadblock as the government is yet to distribute the full compensation payment to the land owners who had ceded their lands. Although the government commissioned the first phase on March 1 in view of the election code of conduct and also gave compensation to a few land owners who come under the second phase starting from Pravachambalam to Kodinada in Balaramapuram, a large number of land owners have neither been informed nor notified regarding the payment.
