Health Minister to visit site at Kinalur, near Balussery, today
The State Government has reportedly decided to establish the proposed All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for Kerala at Kinalur, near Balussery, in Kozhikode district.
Already 150 acres of unused land is in the possession of the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation on the Kinalur Industrial Estate. The Government has now notified that it would acquire another 100 acres for the purpose. The District Collector has been tasked to look into the acquisition process.
Earlier, a three- member committee chaired by Principal Health Secretary Rajan N. Khobragade had given a favourable report that the site is ideal for setting up AIIMS after visiting Kinalur in August.
