Kochi Metro Launches its Own Website

After  the huge uncertainty regarding the ambitious Kochi Metro rail project, the official website of the Cochin Metro rail project was launched by the Kerala Power Minister, Shri Aryadan Muhammed at Thiruvananthapuram on July 26, 2011. The launch of the website marks a major milestone in the progress of this high priority and prestigious project for Kerala.

The official website for Kochi Metro can be accessed at http://www.kochimetro.org and the website gives detailed information about the project and its implementation. Descriptions on the necessity of the Cochin metro rail project, the aim and target of the project, its detailed plan, technical data, major specialities, land needed for the project, details of land acquisition and rehabilitation facilities etc are provided in the website. The government hopes that the website launch would be a one-stop-shop for all the information that is related to the Kochi Metro project. The officials also hope that the web site would help in creating awareness on the project among the people in Kochi.

The launch of the Kochi Metro website is also a  part of the Chief Minister’s initiative to have transparency in government projects.  Tenders, GO’s, circulars and other major documents that are related to the project will also be uploaded on to the website in due course of time. The route map of the proposed metro rail line is also provided in the website.
