Demand to probe ‘sabotage’ of Nilambur-Nanjangud project
The Hindu
The Nilgiri-Wayanad NH and Railway Action Committee has demanded a comprehensive probe by a Central agency into the “sabotage” of the proposed Nilambur-Nanjangud rail line in the wake of the revelation made by E. Sreedharan, Principal Adviser to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), that the State government decided to favour the infeasible Thalassery-Mysuru rail project.
Committee convener T.M. Rasheed said the disclosure by Mr. Sreedharan pointed to the fact that a conspiracy had been hatched to sabotage the railway project that would have been beneficial to the people of Malabar. The railway budget in 2016 had proposed an allocation of ₹3,000 crore. But the move to divert the allocation for the proposed Thalassery-Mysuru project led to the sabotage of the Nilambur-Nanjangud rail line, he alleged.
