Centre’s nod for SilverLine unlikely, says Metroman E Sreedharan

The Centre is unlikely to give its approval for the SilverLine Project in Kerala as there were lot of faults in it, Metroman E Sreedharan said on Thursday, even as Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan asserted that his government would not back down from developmental activities by yielding to protests from some people.

“I don’t think the Centre will give its approval for this project because there are a lot of technical errors in it,” Sreedharan told reporters at Malappuram.

Noting that the railways is a central subject and not a state subject, the Metroman said he had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi citing the problems involved in the project.
