KOCHI: Nobody can mislead the people of the state and they really know what had happened. I am not interested in any controversy and the reason is that this is a moment to be happy, said former chief minister Oommen Chandy at a time when Kannur International Airport was dedicated to the nation. Not inviting him for the inaugural function irked the activists.

Kannur Airport is a new level of Kerala's development. Work was in full swing to inaugurate the airport in 2017. A delay occurred in the work schedule of the airport due to the non-cooperation from a section of the panchayat then ruled by the CPM in connection with land acquisition. Yet 100% work of the runway was completed, he said.
