Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has slammed the government for misleading the people about the economic and environmental viability of the K-Rail (SilverLine) semi-high-speed railway project.
Participating in the discussion on the motion of thanks to the Governor's address on Wednesday, Mr. Chennithala said the Centre had merely given the green signal for a pre-investment evaluation of the scheme. It only allowed the State to conduct soil surveys, form an environmental management plan, create a cell for land acquisition, and prepare the scheme for resettlement and rehabilitation of citizens who could lose their homes, property, and businesses to the mega infrastructure project.
