THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With the land acquisition for constructing the Attingal bypass as part of the development of Kazhakootam-Paripally NH 66 stretch remaining a hurdle owing to the stay order secured by authorities of Thiruvaratukavu Devi temple, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to approach Supreme Court to vacate the stay order.
Earlier, the High Court had dismissed the review petition filed by the NHAI seeking to vacate the stay order. Even though 99% of the land has been acquired for the entire stretch, only one per cent of land, which is 44 cents, belongs to the temple.
