SHAH ALAM: Selangor mentri besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has stated that the land acquisition process for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project is currently ongoing and will be resolved in the near future.
In response to reports of delays in Selangor regarding the land acquisition for the project, Amirudin mentioned that a special committee consisting of state and ECRL representatives is handling the matter. This process entails the relocation of certain residents who have raised objections.

According to reports, the land acquisition for the 665km-long ECRL line is now 93% complete. The remaining 7% involves Section C of the rail alignment in Selangor.
