THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The preliminary proceedings of the land acquisition for the proposed Kollam-Shenkottai greenfield national highway for the land that comes in the capital district has begun. As part of it, the Union Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways issued a 3A notification (land acquisition) for the 10-km stretch out of the total 59-km stretch. It is also learnt that the detailed project report (DPR) preparation for the four-laning of the Kollam-Shenkottai is in the final stage. Once the Kollam-Shenkottai stretch becomes a reality, people from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam can reach Tirunelveli and thereby connect the NH-44 corridor much more easily.
