Allay fears on SilverLine, says NSS

Holding that infrastructure development without ensuring financial and social security in the long term would prove detrimental to the interests of the State, the Nair Service Society (NSS) has urged the State government to take the people into confidence while implementing the SilverLine project.

In a statement here on Wednesday, NSS general secretary G. Sukumaran Nair said development merely for the sake of economic advancement and without a socio-cultural perspective would not ensure the welfare of people.

“It is true that a section of people will sustain losses while implementing mega projects. But at the same time, the protests raised by those who stand to lose their property and homes should not be overlooked,” said Mr. Nair.
