Facility to help promote the rural water sports destination in Kozhikode district
Minister for Public Works and Tourism P.A. Mohamed Riyas on Friday laid the foundation stone for the proposed kayaking centre at Pulikkayam in Kodenchery panchayat on Friday. Thiruvambady MLA Linto Joseph chaired the event. The completion of the new facility is expected to help promote the rural water sports destination among national and international kayaking enthusiasts and champions. Since the launch of the Malabar River Festival here, there has been demand to open a good kayaking centre that can help organisers host the annual kayaking event in keeping with international standards. A portion of the sanctioned State government aid of ₹99.14 lakh will be used for the construction of the centre. Ramps will be constructed at the starting points of various whitewater kayaking spots at Pulikkayam, Kurumkayam, Meenthullippara and Arippara. The project work has been undertaken by the Kerala Electrical and Allied Engineering Company (KEL).
