Petition emailed to CMO on the first death anniversary of poet Sugathakumari
On the first death anniversary of poet and activist Sugathakumari, a large group of environmentalists, social activists, scientists, writers, and journalists have called upon Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to abandon the SilverLine semi-high-speed rail project.
Had she been alive today, Sugathakumari would have chosen to oppose the proposed 529.45-km rail corridor linking Kasaragod and Thiruvananthapuram, they said in a petition emailed to the Chief Minister’s Office on Thursday.
The petition urged Mr. Vijayan to ditch mega projects such as SilverLine in favour of pragmatic, people-friendly development models. The latter were in fact what Kerala, which has been at the receiving end of two major floods, other natural calamities, and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, sorely needed, it said.
