The construction work on a ₹385.4-crore project to upgrade the Kollam railway station and bring it on a par with airports will commence shortly.
A team of high-level officials visited the station on Friday and the work is expected to be completed in 39 months.
“Tenders have been invited for construction work worth ₹290 crore and they will be opened on June 9. Tender procedures will be completed at the earliest after examining the technical bid and financial bid. The project will ensure world-class services usually offered to air passengers,” said N.K.
