Hello
The former managing director of DMRC has proposed a 400-km high-speed rail corridor for Kerala.
When the Palarivattom flyover in Kochi had developed a defect soon after its construction, experts from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, had carried out a study before the DMRC carried out renovation.
Former state information commissionre, S Somanathan Pillai has reiterated his controversial claim and questioned Metroman E Sreedharan on the DPRs he had prepared.
Paytm Payments Bank Ltd (PPBL) on Monday said it has enabled the country's first FASTag-based metro parking facility in partnership with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
The flyover had to be closed for traffic and rebuilt as it was found weak owing to poor construction likely resulting from corruption in the award of the building contract.
About 35 per cent portion of the bridge is being demolished as part of the reconstruction project.
It is estimated that the entire cost of the work (both demolition and reconstruction) will amount to Rs 18.71 crore. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said that work will be complete within eight months.
The DMRC had completed the construction of four bridges in Kochi at a cost lower than the estimated amount. Therefore, the Palarivattom flyover can be rebuilt using the remaining Rs 17.4 crore, Sreedharan told the CM.
Last month the Kerala High Court had barred the demolition of the bridge as the government wanted after considering a few public interest litigations filed against the drastic move.
Molestation on route 544 has been happening since 1985.
