The Government of India has not given any approval to the 530.6 km long Semi High Speed Rail Project linking Thiruvananthapuram and Kasaragod, according to member of Lok Sabha N K Premachandran.
Premachandran was reacting to the claims made by Kerala’s Finance Minister K N Balagopalan and Rajya Sabha member Elamaram Kareem (CPI-M) that the project has been approved by the Union Government.
K Sudhakaran, president, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee who is also a member of Lok Sabha made it clear on Thursday that there is no change in the stance of his party via-a-viz the High Speed Rail Line. “We are of the view that this is an anti-people project and should never be implemented in the present form,” Sudhakaran told the media.
