Description
Description | The Angamaly-Erumeli Sabari Rail project is a railway project extending 111.48km from Angamaly to Erumeli, originally proposed in the railway budget of 1997-98. It aims to establish a crucial transport link to the Sabarimala temple, benefiting pilgrims and contributing to the economic development of the hilly regions of Ernakulam, Idukki, Kottayam, and Pathanamthitta districts. The project is currently stalled due to a freeze order by the Union railway ministry, hindering land acquisition. The state government has not started land acquisition citing the freeze, while the Centre accuses the state of evading its share of the project cost. The state refuses to enter a tripartite agreement with the RBI and the railway ministry over financing concerns. Land acquisition activities are ongoing in some districts, with a social impact assessment study underway. |
