Amid intense protests, Kerala govt to hold panel discussion on SilverLine
At a time when a fresh round of clashes erupted in the state after a gap over the laying of SilverLine survey stones, the Kerala government is getting ready to conduct a panel discussion involving experts who support and those who have raised technical objections and concerns regarding its flagship semi-high speed rail corridor project.
The two-hour-long discussion, scheduled tentatively on April 27 or 28 at the Mascot Hotel, will be moderated by K P Sudheer, state Principal Secretary (Science and Technology), official sources here said.
The programme is designed in the format of three experts speaking for the project and three experts speaking against it in the presence of 25-50 invited audience, they said. The media would reportedly be allowed to cover the debate.
