Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister of State for Home, Mullappally Ramachandran, has called upon the State government to reconsider its decision to proceed with the proposed high speed K-Rail project.

Opening a seminar here on the environmental impact of the project, Mr. Ramachandran said the State’s rich wetlands, paddy fields and rivers would undergo massive changes with the unscientific plan which should be opposed by all mainstream political parties.

“Above all, the final environmental impact assessment report regarding the project is yet to come for getting a clear picture. If implemented, it will break the backbone of Kerala and create a situation that existed in West Bengal’s Nandigram,” he said.
