Delay in Thiruvananthapuram Metro Project Causes Public Discontent

The Thiruvananthapuram Metro Rail project, a key initiative to alleviate traffic congestion in the state capital, is facing delays in finalising its alignment despite the submission of a comprehensive report outlining six potential alignment options. The report, submitted by Kochi Metro Rail (KMRL), provides various routes for the metro, but the state government has yet to decide on the most appropriate alignment for the project.

KMRL, which was set up by the state government to manage metro projects, is awaiting approval from the government before progressing with the next steps. The six alignment options presented are designed to address the growing traffic issues in Thiruvananthapuram, and the final selection will have significant implications for the project’s timeline and effectiveness. The project’s delay in securing alignment approval has led to continued uncertainty, preventing further progress.

The final decision on the alignment rests solely with the state government, and the project cannot move forward until the approval is granted. While KMRL has submitted its recommendations, the government’s approval is crucial to proceed with the necessary steps to advance the metro system, which is seen as essential for improving urban transportation and reducing congestion in Thiruvananthapuram. The delay in finalizing the alignment highlights the challenges that large infrastructure projects often face, particularly in securing the necessary approvals and addressing various logistical concerns.
