UDF holds State-wide protest against SilverLine
The Hindu
It will turn out to be an economic, social, and environmental disaster, says Sudhakaran
The Congress-led United Democratic Front on Saturday held State-wide protests against the Left Democratic Front government's flagship SilverLine rail corridor project alleging it was "unscientific" and "impractical".
Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan launched the protest in Ernakulam and Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee chief K. Sudhakaran inaugurated the event in front of the Secretariat here. Various UDF leaders led protests in the headquarters of 10 districts through which the project would pass.
SilverLine is aimed at setting up 529.45 km of rail corridor connecting Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod, reducing the travel time to just four hours.
