Details of metro sought

KOCHI: The Kochi Metro Rail Action Council has demanded that the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), the implementing agency for the Kochi metro-rail project release details such as the fare that would be charged from passengers and how traffic will be managed when work on the project is on.
