E Sreedharan, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Principal Advisor, has said a 13 km stretch of Kochi Metro will be opened in April this year.
Speaking to reporters after he had a meeting with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Sreedharan said, “The inauguration of the 13 km stretch from Aluva-Palarivattom will be held in April this year.”
