K-Rail to Kerala HC: Govt officials have right to enter property for demarcation
KOCHI: Even as strong protests continue against SilverLine across Kerala, the semi high-speed rail project’s implementing body K-Rail informed the Kerala High Court on Monday that state government officials have absolute authority to enter private properties to demarcate and take levels of the notified land. K-Rail filed the affidavit in response to a group of petitions against SilverLine.
In the affidavit filed by joint general manager Deepa Joy, K-Rail stated the petitioners’ allegation that the government authorities were engaging in disproportionate use of force, exceeding their authority and causing grave human rights violation is incorrect.
