Kozhikode Construction of the Anakkampoyil-Kalladi-Meppadi twin-tube tunnel project in Keralam remains suspended at both portals, with no indication of an early resumption even after Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL), the implementing agency, and its EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contractor, Dilip Buildcon Ltd., submitted all the documents sought by the State government-appointed expert committee probing the landslide at the north portal.
The prolonged stoppage has raised concerns over the safety and durability of the 110-metre stretch of tunnelling already completed in the right tube on the Anakkampoyil side.
KRCL and the contracting agency have reportedly warned that continued suspension could lead to deterioration of the completed work.
