Government of Kerala has already held a discussion with the Infrastructure Kerala Limited (INKEL) regarding this. In the name of creating basic infrastructure for the city development and industry development, historical buildings and land in prime localities of the city are brought under INKEL and thereby being handed over to private entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the master plan aims only to help building of more star hotels, shopping malls and multiplexes. It is believed that schemes have been prepared by <strong>INKEL<\/strong> to include <strong>Kanakakunnu Palace, Tagore Theatre, Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium, 5.5 acres of Palayam Connemara market, 22 cents of land and building of Kerala Olympic Association at VanRoss Junction, 1.28 acres at Thampanoor, 728 acres under Forest Industries at Aluva, and government owned 250 acres land at Panakkad<\/strong> which will help the private parties to lay their hands on Government property.<\/p>\n<p>Such a move is in contravention of the order issued by Revenue Department prohibiting transferring of government owned land to private parties for starting industrial projects.
