Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said concerns over the SilverLine rail corridor potentially dividing the State are unfounded.
While fielding questions on the proposed Kerala Rail Development Corporation (K-Rail) project in the Assembly on Tuesday, Mr. Vijayan also claimed that studies were under way to minimise the quantity of construction materials required for the massive endeavour.
Dismissing growing fears over the construction of embankments for the project, he pointed out that the component is commonly seen along the existing railway tracks in the country and is essential in preventing flooding.
