‘Steps to be taken to start construction of airport railway station’

Union Minister of State for Fisheries George Kurian on Saturday (October 18) said that Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had assured him that steps would be taken soon to start the construction of the Nedumbassery airport railway station.

In a communication, Mr. Kurian recalled that the Railway Minister had suggested the location of the station to officials during the window-trailing inspection held last year. Mr. Kurian had accompanied Mr. Vaishnaw during the site visit, it said.

The communication claimed that Mr. Vaishnaw had informed that additional coaches would be sanctioned for MEMU trains from November onwards to help commuters.
