The Kerala Rail Development Corporation Limited (KRDCL), a joint venture between the State and the Railways for executing viable projects on a cost-sharing basis, on Thursday said the State government has no plan to freeze the proposed SilverLine project.
Addressing Janasamaksham 2.0, an online interaction programme organised by K-Rail to address the apprehensions of people about the project, V. Ajithkumar, K-Rail managing director, said there was no going back on the project. The State government was going ahead with it and a social impact study was under way in areas where alignment stones had been laid.
The study will continue in the rest of the areas demarcated through geo-tagging, said Mr. Ajithkumar. The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has been extending both ‘tied and untied’ loans, he said.
