Kochi Corporation looking for new agency to hand over operation of ro-ro services

The Kochi Corporation is looking to hand over the operation of its ro-ro (roll-on/roll-off) ferry services to a new agency, as the services have been reporting huge losses. The civic body is exploring the possibility of roping in the Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) to manage the operations. This move is significant as it highlights the financial challenges faced by local governments in maintaining public transport services and the need to explore partnerships with other agencies to improve efficiency.
