oh, for the construction of the metro station at ROB Pachalam, it has been decided by the govt. that those who give their property would get the appropriate compensation. But, i dont think that the people will get the market rate for their land. Will they?

the land acquisition issue can't be ignored as such, right? There will be much issues from the part of land owners. Now the meeting of the authorities have decided to give one more oportunity to settle the issue. If the land owners fail to settle the matter, then the district admin. will take some strong measures such as taking over the land and so on.

yeah, if you consider the issue of the land acquisition near the Eranakulam south railway station, the CM also asked the mayor to hand over the land and the building near the south railway station in advance for the metro station in Ernakulam South. This issue at the South railway station is at the final stage itself. now, i think the permission will be given shortly. For the tenants of the building, the KMRL will pay the approved R&R rates.

me too. the extension of metro to IT hub Kakkanad and to Thripunithura will be completed in the first phase itself. I think that the next phase would include the exension of the metro service to Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery as well as to West Kochi.

Hey, the process of land acquisition won't take too much time as the issue will be sorted out soon. And this is not a major problem too because only some minor part of the project is affected by this problem. I am almost certain that the first phase of metro rail project will finish by 2015 itself.

But, i dont think that the work will be completed on time, dude. Not even the problem of land acquisition has been solved for some part of the metro. The land acquisition is really a great issue that the Kochi Metro Rail Limited is facing.

Yeah, and as per the CM Mr. Oommen Chandy, he had recently promised that the first train would start off by the end of 2015. I am very expectant of the kochi metro. Now, the traffic in the city is so much horrible that i take about 1 hour to cover a distance of 1 km to reach my office in kadavanthra. Metro will ease my travel.

Boss, the work of Kochi metro is on the roll. I happened to hear that the work of the metro will be completed by 2015. but, right now, I think that the work of the metro will be finished on time as it is going on a time-bound manner.
