KOCHI: The high court on Thursday said it expects the Union government to address the concerns regarding the K-Rail SilverLine project in the state as it considers the Union government an equal partner in the semi high-speed rail project.
Justice Devan Ramachandran pointed out that K-Rail, which is the implementing agency, is a joint venture company under the Government of Kerala and Ministry of Railways, with the state having 51% shares and the Union government holding 49% shares. The joint venture company was set up for complementing the Indian Railways in augmenting the rail infrastructure in the state, the court noted.
