THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Government is examining a proposal to construct a court complex in the capital, Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has said.

Mr. Kodiyeri said in a written reply to V. Sivankutty that the High Court registrar had submitted a proposal to construct a court complex on February 7, but no budgetary allocation had been made for the project.

In a written reply to George Mercier, Mr. Kodiyeri said that 2,05,167 foreign tourists and 2,96,828 domestic tourists had visited Kovalam between 2001 and 2005.

Tourism police and lifeguards had been posted to provide security to the tourists. Steps had been taken to develop the road from Kovalam junction to the bus stand, improve the lighting on the beach and make it a zero-waste resort. Construction of a park on the Samudra beach and a tourist facilitation centre were progressing. Decision had been taken to develop an art and crafts village with Central assistance. Construction of the park has reached the final phase, he said.

Mr. Balakrishnan told Mangode Radhakrishnan that the Government was considering a proposal to develop Ponmudi Palace and its precincts. Eco-tourism projects for Ponmudi would be submitted to the Centre for approval.
