Amid mounting protests, the State government has begun the process to acquire 42.03 hectares of land in Kozhikode district for the first phase of the proposed SilverLine corridor project connecting Kasaragod and Thiruvananthapuram. As per the detailed project report, the alignment of the ambitious semi high-speed rail project, an initiative of Kerala Rail Development Corporation (K-Rail), passes through 73 km in Kozhikode district.

The proposal is to acquire land in seven villages spread across Kozhikode and Koyilandy taluks. Though the alignment passes through Vadakara taluk, no villages have so far been listed for acquisition in the first phase.
