The Anti-K-Rail SilverLine People’s Struggle Committee’s third phase protest programmes that began from Azhiyur in Kozhikode a month ago concluded at the Secretariat on Christmas day with a fast by State and district committee office-bearers of 11 districts from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram.
Hundreds of letters from people affected by the project have been sent to the Chief Minister through registered post as part of the campaign ‘SilverLine venda Navakeralathinu’ as part of the protest, a statement by S. Rajeevan, general convener of the committee said.
A mass petition signed by nearly 25,000 people from 300-odd protest committees raising the same demand and to be sent to Minister for Railways V. Abdurahiman was received by committee patron Joseph M. Puthussery from Azhiyur Ramachandran at the site of the fast, the statement said.
