Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the state government will bear half the cost of the Sabari Rail Link and that the propaganda to the contrary is contrary to the facts. Although the central government should bear the entire cost, the state government is ready to bear half the cost as the Sabari Rail Link is an important project, the Chief Minister said while inaugurating the Global Ayyappa Sangam at Pampa Manappuram.
The state government is making interventions based on understanding the importance of the railway. In the most recent discussion with the Railway Ministry, it was announced that the government will bear 50 percent of the cost. Despite these facts, completely wrong things are being spread. Baseless news is being spread as a blatant lie.
It is expected that all the permissions for the Sabarimala airport will be available by December this year. It is hoped that the land acquisition will be completed by next year and the airport construction work will begin. The Chief Minister said that significant progress has also been made in the Sabarimala ropeway.
