Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Governor Ahmad Humaid Al Tayer is visiting Kerala in a last ditch attempt to salvage the Smart City Kochi project, a news report has said.
In a meeting held with UAE-based Indian businessman M A Yusuf Ali -- who was recently appointed by Kerala as its mediator on the project -- on Sunday evening, Al Tayer is said to have discussed the agenda for the crucial meeting that the government of Kerala is scheduled to hold on Wednesday (February 2), the Emirates 24/7 report said.
The Smart City Project, which was initially agreed to in 2003, has been delayed ever since due to various disagreements. The latest stumbling block is the dispute over freehold rights over 12 per cent of the land under the project.
