The Revenue department, which is custodian of the
Thiruvananthapuram Golf Course, has been kept in the dark even as the Cabinet
in-principle gave an accord to the proposal for its takeover by the Sports
Authority of India (SAI).
The cabinet had last week given its nod to the proposal
from SAI with regard to the taking over of the Golf course and transforming it
into one of international standards. However, the officials in the Revenue
department allege that they were not aware of this.
Even as the Revenue Minister Adoor Prakash denies any big issue, the officials
point out that the golf course was taken back from the Golf Club after many
struggles. There is no doubt that it is a big venture and could give a fillip
to the golf course. But before taking any decision, the matter should have been
discussed with the revenue department, the officials said.
