Redevelopment of Ernakulam Junction railway station faces fresh delay as new contractor decision put off

KOCHI: Development work at the Ernakulam Junction railway station is likely to be delayed as a decision on appointing a new contractor may be taken only after one-and-a-half month. Work at the Ernakulam Town railway station too seems to be progressing at a slow pace.

Sources in the railways said tenders submitted by six firms were opened on September 12. “We will be carefully studying each document and conduct a thorough check to verify the credentials of the interested companies,” said a Railway official.
