A government order to drop six proposed Water Metro terminals in Kerala’s Kochi has drawn criticism from observers who say the move could affect the project’s intended reach. The terminals named in the order are Thevara, Aster, Amrita, Kothad, Cheriyamthuruth and Mulavukad.
Critics say the decision may weaken water transport connectivity to areas located farther away from Kochi city. They argue that the omitted terminals were meant to improve access beyond the main urban centre.
The issue has sparked flak as the Water Metro project continues to be closely watched for its role in local public transport. No further details on the reason for dropping the terminals were available from the input.
