After another round of delays, things appear to be looking up for the War Memorial project in the State capital with the Cabinet giving the go-ahead last week.
Senior officials of the Sainik Welfare Department said they expected construction to begin in the current financial year as the 1.5-acre site, at Akkulam, is ready for the project.
A May 24 Cabinet meeting had given administration sanction for the new War memorial – meant to commemorate soldiers from Kerala who fought in wars and military operations in the post-Independence years – with an estimated expenditure of ₹8.08 crore.
