Tue Jan 28 16:53:30 UTC 2025: ## Madurai Metro Extension to Melur Rejected by High Court
**Madurai, Tamil Nadu –** The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) petition on Tuesday seeking an extension of the Madurai Metro Rail project to Melur. The court ruled that the decision to extend the metro line is a policy matter for the government to determine, not a judicial one. The petition, filed by advocate B. Stalin, argued that the Othakadai-Melur region’s importance had been overlooked. While dismissing the petition, the court indicated the government remains free to consider the proposal.
