Govt. aims at bringing about a balance between development, eco conservation: Rajeeve
Construction materials such as granite needed for mega projects including the SilverLine semi high-speed rail will be sourced by ensuring adequate environmental safeguards, according to Industries Minister P. Rajeeve.
The matter came up during the Question Hour after the Industries Minister said 66 quarries (at three hectares a quarry) will be needed if granite for constructing the Vizhinjam international seaport project was to be fully sourced from within Kerala.
This prompted M. Vincent of the Congress to ask whether the Government had any idea of the volume of granite required for building the 529.45-km SilverLine corridor linking Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram.
