Kochi Pages: Kochi Metro Railway Limited (KMRL) has been approached by the Department of Agriculture on 17 hectares of land in Canada, where the proposed BIS project is underway.
The Department of Agriculture accepted the proposal and asked KMRL to undertake preliminary activities such as tree felling, clearing wells, sowing fences and weeding.
Land in Canada has not been used for some time.
“According to the horticulture department, the land is good for farming, and even organic vegetables can be grown there. Until the construction is approved, we are making them grow and cultivate vegetables. MD Loknath Behera said.
“Sunlight infiltration, deforestation must be done. In addition to well rehabilitation, motor pumps and pipelines for irrigation, fencing, weeding and grass clearing and land preparation are the tasks that KMRL should undertake. An official said.

The Tricakara Municipal Development Committee also discussed the cultivation of vegetables on the land.
