What we need is a stable govt with educated Ministers & literate CM ambitious to growth& this team should be in power for atleast 10 years. Then see where we stand after 10 years (even less). The common public should keep a close watch on all growth projects and its progress just like what some media do right now, and offenders / frauds should be brought to public. Can we prepare ourselves for the forthcoming election with this motive in mind. No need to mention which Front is anti-growth and pro, which we all know. Remember IT IS NOT THE PROSPERITY THAT BRINGS GOOD ROADS TO US, RATHER ITS THE GOOD ROADS THAT BRING PROSPERITY TO US. So let us start from that level, rails and roads. Together WE CAN DO IT.

What we lack is accountability on the part of the Govt and Ministers, which should be set on a priority basis. In addition an amendment in constitution to protect infrastructure development etc. will benefit projects like Cochin Metro or any ambitious project of national interest.

The difference between Kerala and other states like Tamil Nadu is that the politicians here only look at their own good and can’t care less about the state or the people. We don’t need a metro in Cochin to use up whatever little space the narrow roads have. We just need wide roads and effective policing of traffic rules.

You are right Mr.Haque. The laid back attitude of the Kerala govt will reflect in each and every mega project coming here. Cochiners should stop dreaming.

first upon i would like to say something about our great cochi. Its a great place with lot of historic backgrounds n business firm as well.So everyone is expecting the metro rail and obviously it will be useful.The government must take consolidate decisions regarding this. When we comapre the development of kanataka and tamil nadu; it is very shameful for us . And the last decision lies on the political parties as well.Hope for the best.

If there was some discipline and the law was upheld by the citizens of kochi , I think the traffic wouldn’t be chaotic, the city traffic police should do more—–some suggestions
heavy vehicles should not be allowed to ply during j heavy traffic hours, transport buses should be allowed to ply only on the outer lanes of the road.people. no parking of cars on the side roads every thing seems to be concentrated in the center of the city, cant the city co-operation seem to do any thing —- they are the voted representatives , its time they raked their brains or be prepared to be voted out next time .
