Centre reportedly tells State to find alternative guarantee
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday called on Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnav in New Delhi to get the final sanction for the 540-km semi high speed railway, Silverline.
The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s ambitious flagship scheme seeks to reduce the 16-hour travel time between Thiruvananthapuram and Kasaragod to less than four hours.
Moreover, Silverline is expected to open up the State’s verdant hinterlands to tourism and development, decongest its highways and reduce its carbon footprint.
