New Kerala CM VD Satheesan has scrapped the ₹64,000 crore SilverLine project, calling it “an environmental disaster and financially unviable”. The project, approved by the previous LDF government, aimed to create a high-speed rail corridor between Thiruvananthapuram and Kasaragod. Satheesan said families suffered due to land acquisition and added that cases against protesters will be withdrawn.
