Filemore-inFinally, there seems to be some progress in the long-delayed second phase development of the Vyttila Mobility Hub with Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) set to appoint a consultant for drawing up the Detailed Project Report (DPR) this month.

KMRL had recommended first of the three concept plans for the second phase development and was open to prepare a DPR based on it once it was entrusted with the job. After much dilly-dallying, it was only in February this year that the governing body meeting of the Vyttila Mobility Hub Society (VMHS) finally decided to entrust KMRL with the designing and execution of the project..
