Kerala on Tuesday sought opening of domestic air travel,intra-state passenger trains and metro rail services in a memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the time was not ripe to commence inter-state railway services.
The state submitted the suggestions as instructed by the Centre after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s video conference with all the Chief Ministers on Monday.
“However, we have sought special non-stop trains from Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and other major cities,” Vijayan told reporters here.
The state has suggested intra-district bus service with limited number of passengers and strict health protocols including practice of social distancing.
