THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Lawyer and civil rights activist Prasant Bhushan has termed the proposed K-Rail project as “socio, economical and environmental disaster”. Instead of going for a standalone rail project, the state government should focus on upgrading the existing Railway line, he said here on Saturday.
Bhushan also asked the state to call off the Vizhinjam transshipment terminal project. He said the facility built on a fragile coastline will have repercussions on the marine ecology of the state which has already been seeing unprecedented natural calamities.
