Why it matters

Industry associations in Coimbatore have expressed disappointment over the Union government’s decision to reject metro rail for Coimbatore.
“This is a disappointing news. It is not good for the city. When the Centre rejected the proposal last year and the Chennai Metro Rail Limited was preparing a fresh proposal for resubmission, we were given to understand that the Centre would consider the fresh proposal positively. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay should now do the needful,” said Rajesh B. Lund, president of the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Coimbatore.
