Alignment for
46.5-km line has been finalised
CHENNAI: The alignment for the 46.5-km metro rail has been finalised. Care has been taken to minimise land acquisition.
At a few places, the alignment was changed and taken underground to avoid land acquisition. According to a government source, a survey conducted as part of the metro proposal shows that only about 45 households will be directly affected.
However, the impact of tunnelling and other structural works of the underground line on buildings are not known.
The Government has decided to control development of properties that are close to the metro rail line. It has directed the development authority and local bodies to obtain clearance from the Chennai Metro Rail Ltd before approving any project that falls within 50m on either side of the alignment.
Funding for project
Two metro corridors are planned from Washermenpet to the airport and from Fort to St.Thomas Mount. The Japan Bank for International Cooperation will fund this Rs.9,575-crore project. The State Government has formed the Chennai Metro Rail Company to execute the metro railway line. The DMRC has drawn up the detailed project report and will be associated with the project till its completion.

My friend and I were recently discussing about technology, and how integrated it has become to our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.
