The proposed SilverLine semi high-speed rail is not a priority development project, said a resolution passed at the 59th annual meeting of the Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad (KSSP) on Sunday.
The annual meeting was held at Kadayirupp, near Kochi. The resolution said a study by the Parishad had revealed serious social and environmental impact on the State if the project was implemented.
The project will affect the lay of the land, waterbodies, wetlands and paddy fields, the resolution pointed out.
