The Metro Rail trial run was to take by end of this month. Now there is news that it would take three months to complete the works. CMRL may terminate the contract of Consolidated Construction Consortium Limited (CCCL) that is involved in the construction of stations, including Koyambedu, CMBT, Arumbakkam, Vadapalani, Ashok Nagar, Ekattuthangal and Alandur, which are scheduled to be a part of the trial run.
Officials of CMRL recently said there were several delays in the construction of stations by CCCL and the company had not paid salary dues to several of its employees. CMRL had then advanced a payment to help CCCL
There is also news that CMRL may terminate the contract of CCCL. If the contract ends, it will throw construction out of gear on the Koyambedu-Alandur stretch for at least three months as fresh tenders have to be floated only after which the new contractor can begin work.
