The Hindu
‘It has the potential to wean away people from personalised and other modes of commute’
The 530-km-long SilverLine semi-high speed rail corridor will need approximately 50 % less mud and aggregate for its embankment and for the 88 kms elevated tracks, than that for a 45-m-wide NH, said V Ajithkumar, the MD of KRDCL (K-Rail).
He termed as one-sided, statements by critics of the project that the embankment would lead to erasure of vast many hills and rocks to source mud and aggregate.
