Lobbying by business groups derailed Coimbatore metro project, say activists
COIMBATORE: A wave of disappointment has engulfed the public in Coimbatore city as their dream of an own metro rail system has been dashed.
The Union government’s decision to return the Detailed Project Report (DPR) submitted by Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) has triggered widespread anger among industrialists, activists, and commuters.
The demands for a metro rail in Coimbatore city have been growing for more than 14 years but the latest decision has put paid to that long-cherished dream.
