The long-term benefits of the SilverLine semi high-speed rail project should not be ignored, V.K. Ramachandran, vice chairman, Kerala State Planning Board, said on Thursday, reacting to the criticism levelled against the project.
Speaking at the 34th Kerala Science Congress, Prof. Ramachandran noted that long-term, large infrastructure projects such as SilverLine cannot be evaluated on short-term financial viability considerations alone.
