The seafront has been converted into a world class tourist destination. It includes provision for smart lighting, parking facilities, gardens, food stalls, recreational areas and a luxury tent city in the future.
Will inaugurate 'Water Metro Rail Service'
PM Modi will inaugurate India's first 'Water Metro Rail Service' in Kerala before going to Dadra Nagar Haveli and Daman. The service starting between Kochi and ten nearby islands is considered very useful for such cities, where there are many obstacles in the traditional metro rail. The Rs 1,136 crore project is being touted as a dream project for Kerala. It will be able to promote economic activities in the city through public transport and tourism.
In fact, the government is choosing its options carefully when it comes to providing infrastructure and transport. He believes, one type of solution cannot be useful for every city. It will be fully air-conditioned like a metro train and will run daily for 12 hours at an interval of 15 minutes. Right now there are 23 boats and 14 terminals in the beginning. At the same time, 50 to 100 passengers can sit in each metro.
PM Modi will also lay the foundation stone of 'Digital Science Park'
India's first Digital Science Park is going to be built in Kerala. Its foundation stone will be laid by PM Modi on 25 April. A government release said the third-generation science park would come up at Technopark Phase IV- Technocity close to the Digital University of Kerala. It is a Rs 1,500 crore project. The release said Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, various ministers of the Left government and Congress's Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor will attend the event.
The Digital Science Park project was envisaged as a multidisciplinary cluster-based interactive-innovation zone focused on digital technologies and is expected to be completed in two years.
