Participants at a stakeholders’ meeting on the draft of the comprehensive mobility plan (CMP) for Kozhikode on February 3 (Saturday) suggested that a metro rail service would be necessary for the city in view of its future growth and increasing traffic bottlenecks.
The CMP is a strategy for short, medium and long-term investments in a city to improve the mobility and accessibility of its residents considering the land use pattern.
Minister for Tourism and Public Works P.A. Mohamed Riyas, Minister for Forests and Wildlife A.K. Saseendran, Kochi Metro Rail Limited Managing Director Loknath Behera, Mayor Beena Philip, and Corporation councillors, among others, participated in the discussions.
