K-Rail will drag State into debt trap: Satheesan

The proposed semi-high-speed SilverLine rail project will push the entire State into a debt trap, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said.

He was inaugurating the United Democratic Front's (UDF) State-level agitation against the  Kerala Rail Development Corporation Limited (K-Rail) project at Mulakuzha, near Chengannur, on Saturday.

Mr. Satheesan said the project would turn the State into another Nandigram. The entire State would become a victim of the project. The figure of ₹64,000 crore was false and misguiding. The actual cost of the project would be manifold high. He challenged the government for a debate on the project.
