ERNAKULAM : The Kerala government on Wednesday said it has approved an ambitious ₹66,000 cr semi-high speed rail project, called 'Silver Line', seen as a game-changer project to recast infrastructure and economic development.
The long-pending project could cut down travel time from its northern tip, Kasargod district, to the southernmost district Thiruvananthapuram, to just 4 hours from 12 hours using the existing Indian Railway trains.The project is the biggest one the communist government has announced in its term, nearing end next year, and is brought to life a decade long discussions about it in the state.
