‘State govt. accused of covering up particulars in Detailed Project Report’
Describing the proposed SilverLine as a project to put Kerala in huge debt, Senior Congress leader V.M. Sudheeran on Thursday said the State government should not go ahead with the proposal without holding an open hearing to understand public concerns.
Mr. Sudheeran, while addressing a session on ‘Derailing development and environment’ organised in memory of late journalist P. Jibin at the Kozhikode Press Club Hall, pointed out that there was lack of transparency in the whole project which was taken up for speedy execution without conducting proper environment or social impact assessments.
According to Mr. Sudheeran, the government was trying to cover up the particulars in the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for unknown reasons.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
