Kochi metro: Minister writes to Manmohan

KOCHI: The Kochi metro railway project should be implemented strictly on the lines of the Delhi metro project, the State government has reiterated.

Law Minister M. Vijayakumar has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Union Urban Development Secretary on Wednesday in this regard.

Mr. Vijayakumar said news reports that clearance was given to the project was misleading. He said what really happened was that the Planning Commission, which had earlier opposed the project, had now agreed to the proposal with certain conditions which were not acceptable to the State government.
