Explanation:

Recently the government has cleared the construction of a Rs 658 crore two-lane tunnel road in the Anakkampoyil-Kalladi-Meppadi corridor that would run parallel to the landslip-prone Thamarassery pass that links Kozhikode to Wayanad. The proposed tunnel road would be shorter only to the two tunnels in Jammu & Kashmir. The Chenani-Nashri tunnel road on National Highway 44 is 9.2 km long, while the Banihal-Qazigund tunnel in the Pir Panjal range is 8.5 km long. Kerala's longest road tunnel is at Kuthiran between Thrissur and Palakkad at 962 metres. The Konkan Railway Corporation will execute the project on a turnkey basis. Hence both statements are correct.
