#K-Rail is bearing fruit.
It is known to all that K-Rail of the Kerala government was an unfeasible project which does not serve any particular purpose for the commuters of Kerala. It runs parallel to the Indian Railway, causing unforeseen damage to the current traffic system.
The Kerala government’s push for the One Lakh crore K-Rail project was bound to siphon off borrowed money. Ultimately, the project was abandoned and the employees delegated to the project were asked to go to their parent departments.
However, there is an added benefit to laying down K-Rail stones and beating agitators hard. The Union Finance Minister, while presenting the Interim Budget 2024, said that Kerala would receive a one-time outlay of Rs 2,744 crore for several railway infrastructure and security projects. Without the K-rail fiasco, Kerala will not get this kind of care from the Centre.
