The Railway Board on Thursday informed the Kerala High Court that sufficient details of the technical feasibility of SilverLine, the proposed semi-high-speed railway project, are not available in the detailed project report (DPR) submitted by the Kerala Railway Development Corporation Limited (K-Rail).
The board also submitted that Railways had not approved the social impact assessment (SIA) study being conducted by the State. The submissions were made when petitions against the laying of survey stones for the SIA came up for hearing before Justice Devan Ramachandran.
It was submitted that Railways had not concurred with or requested the State government to lay survey stones or markers during the course of the survey being conducted for the project.
