Munnar Monorail

Munnar Monorail Project is a project of the government of Kerala in Munnar.[1] The mono rail is to be constructed in the same area where the erstwhile Kundala Valley Railway ran nearly a century earlier. As part of the project, a preliminary study led by Devikulam MLA S Rajendran was conducted.[2] Primary study was submitted to railway department and railway will conduct feasibility study for showing green flag. The initial stage of the project aims at reviving 5 km of the original line.[3] Extension of the remaining 35 km will be done if the project succeeds.[4] The state Tourism minister Kadakmpally Surendran has said that the renewed railway line would draw more number of tourists to the hill stations.
