K-Rail agitation extends to Nattassery

The wave of protest triggered by a survey for the proposed SilverLine project spread to more parts of Kottayam with the residents of Nattassery, supported by political parties, on Monday blocking an attempt by the K-Rail officials to lay survey stones in the region.

The protests began around 9 a.m. when local residents, including women and children, gathered at Kuzhiyilippadi junction on an alert by an anti-K-Rail agitation council that a survey for the project would be conducted in the region. The protests, led by the Kerala Congress leader Prince Lukose, intensified further with Nattakom Suresh, president of the District Congress Committee (DCC) reaching the spot.

Congress leader Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, MLA; BJP district president Lijin Lal; and UDF district convener Saji Manjakadamban were present at the location.
