Alternatives suggested such as increasing the speed of trains by straightening the 626 curves on the existing railway network would not yield the desired results, since that could entail more land acquisition than for SilverLine, says Pinarayi Vijayan
Reiterating that there was no going back on the Thiruvananthapuram-Kasargod SilverLine semi-high-speed rail project, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on Thursday that every effort would be made to lessen the project’s impact. A study was under way to try and reduce the number of buildings that ought to be taken over (from the 9,300 envisaged) for the project.
Alternatives suggested such as increasing the speed of trains by straightening the 626 curves on the existing railway network would not yield the desired results, since that could entail more land acquisition than for SilverLine, said Mr. Vijayan at an outreach programme here on the proposed rail corridor.
