Mayor says govt will have to provide funds to carry out rehabilitation of 23 families
Even as the Railways have sought speedy eviction of 23 families from a portion of the 40-acre Old Railway Station located behind the Kerala High Court, the Kochi Corporation and others say that the State government would have to chip in with funds and land to rehabilitate them. This comes in the wake of the demand by NGOs and others to make optimal use of the vast prime land in the city as a hub for short-distance trains, in order to decongest Ernakulam Junction and Town railway stations. Railway sources said the Railway Board was yet to take a call on making use of the land, mainly due to uncertainty over evicting/rehabilitating the families which encroached on the land many decades ago.More Related News
