  "account": "At a meeting convened by District Collector G. Priyanka and the managing director of Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL), steps were decided to augment non-ticketing revenue for the metro system. This includes exploring semi-naming rights of Kochi metro stations, in addition to generating revenue from the 11.20-km Kakkanad extension, currently under construction. The meeting also aimed to address the vacancy of key posts in the metro agency. Stakeholders discussed the proposal for building a flyover at Sreekaryam in the state capital, as well as reviewed the progress of the Kakkanad extension works.",
