The Kerala CM, writing on the Kochi project being inaugurated today, argues the state’s model can be replicated in 40 cities countrywide
Today yet another promise the LDF government made to the people of Kerala stands fulfilled. PM Narendra Modi is dedicating one of Kerala’s dream projects, the Kochi Water Metro, to the nation. Not only India’s first water metro, it is also the first-ever integrated water transport system of this size and scale in Asia. It is a proud moment not only for Kerala, but for the country.
Once upon a time, water transport was prominently in use in Kerala. But over the decades, its use dwindled. The LDF government’s vision is to use waterways and water conveyance effectively and efficiently by re-inventing the potential of such conveyance in tune with the times.
