Tecom should clarify their stand: CM

KOCHI: Dubai based Tecom Investments, promoters of Kochi SmartCity project have to clarify if they have abandoned the project or not, based on which government examines proposals submitted by other interested developers, Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan said Saturday.

Tecom should clarify their stand if they have withdrawn from the project or not, he told reporters here.

Only after that would the government look into proposals submitted by other developers who have evinced interest in the project, he said when specifically asked about the much delayed project.

In May 2007, the Smartcity MOU was signed. Whether Tecom has abandoned the project or not, it is up to them to clarify, he said.
