KOZHIKODE: Protests against SilverLine project intensified when the survey stone laying team reached Dharmadom panchayat, which comes under the assembly constituency of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in Kannur on Friday.
K-Rail authorities were not able to lay a single survey stone during the over two-hour standoff which saw even local women joining the huge number of protesters in mounting a stiff resistance. In the scuffle which broke out later, one of the protesters manhandled a K-Rail official. Dharmadom police have not registered a case in this regard.
