Officials had come to measure the water level in the Karingali puncha
Tension prevailed at Nooranad in Alappuzha when protesters tried to block officials of the Revenue Department and the Kerala Rail Development Corporation Limited (K-Rail) who came to measure water level in the Karingali puncha on Wednesday.
The officials who reached the place with police protection in the morning were met with strong protests. The agitators demanded a change in the alignment of the SilverLine project, a semi-high-speed rail project to link Kasaragod in the north to Thiruvananthapuram in the south, by avoiding wetland and paddy fields in the area.
