Even as the State has been witnessing intense protests against SilverLine, the proposed semi-high-speed rail project, K-Rail authorities have completed laying alignment stones in 175 km of the total 530 km.
The Kerala Railway Development Corporation Ltd. (KRDCL) managing director V. Ajith Kumar told The Hindu on Wednesday that around 33% of the work had been completed and the remaining 67% was under way.
“Once two-thirds of the stones are fixed, we are hopeful of starting the social impact assessment (SIA) of the project under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013,” said Mr. Ajith Kumar.
