The Union budget 2009-10 didn`t have any budgetary allocation for Kochi Metro Rail project. Even it didn`t mention about it. It was contrary to what the civic authorities of Kochi had expected. Kochi Metro Rail project was the part of Prime Minister`s 100 day package. Still, it was kept out of the purview of this year`s Union budget. The painful thing is that other Metro Rail projects at Bangaluru, Chennai and Kolkkatta got the due budgetary support and allocation except Kochi. Even Delhi Metro Rail Corporation got Rs.3000 crore for its mordenisation purpose and maintenance.This has spelt doom for the hopes of  Kochiites to have a Metro Rail project in Kochi. The only hope is that Government of Kerala has earmarked the fund for this mega project. But, will it be  enough to complete this ?
