For those Singlecelled guys who capture the Nowhere going Kokavil Railway station & boast endlessly abt that , here is a food for thought !
lol !
30,000 Crore SL Rs ...good for one year budget of Sorry lanka..
Chennai Metro Rail Ltd (CMRL) formed by the State Government for implementing the metro rail project in the city has taken shape with the registration of the company recently.
The corporate office will start functioning soon from Ascendas near Tidel Park on the Rajiv Gandhi Salai (Old Mahabalipuram Road) and the first board meeting will be held on December 27, according to official sources.
the project had already been cleared by the Union Urban Development Ministry, it has been sent to the Planning Commission for approval. Once the Planning Commission gives its approval, it will be forwarded to Japan Bank for International Cooperation for its funding.
Officials foresee no hitch in getting funds. The project, which will be partly underground and partly elevated, is now estimated to cost Rs.9,750 crore.
the first corridor from Toll Gate to Kamaraj Airport would cover 27.3 kilometres with 22 stations.
The second corridor would run from Fort Station to Guindy with 18 stations along 21.8 kilometres. Much of the elevated track was proposed along Anna Salai.
In places where the road was narrow, the rail corridor would be underground.
Passages to connect commuters from suburban lines to the Metro rail corridors were also proposed to integrate the project with the existing transport network.
Chennai is in the list of cities, with population of three million and above, where the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited had recommended metro rail project to the Planning Commission
