E. Sreedharan opens office for high-speed rail project at Ponnani

E. Sreedharan, former Konkan Railway chairperson, opened an office in his hometown Ponnani to begin work on a proposed high-speed rail project connecting Kerala's southern and northern ends. He claims the project is under consideration by the Union government and plans to proceed with surveying locations for stations despite skepticism from the state government and opposition parties. The project aims to connect all four airports in the state, with trains reaching speeds of up to 200 kmph and travel times reduced significantly.
