Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Sunday that his government's controversial semi-high-speed rail project, SilverLine, which has been back-burnered by the Centre, will be implemented. Addressing a 'business and investment' meeting at a Loka Kerala Sabha in the US, Pinarayi reiterated the LDF government's commitment toward the project that was widely opposed mainly due to land acquisition. "We're working toward getting approval for the project even as a certain section adopted a stand to sabotage it. Pressure was put on the Centre to stop the project... so, under the circumstances, though the project has not been approved yet, the semi-high-speed rail service will be materialised," Pinarayi said. "If we take into consideration the time taken to travel by trains, there hasn't been much improvement over the years... the one area that Kerala is lagging is in terms of rail connectivity, it has to improve a lot."

अगर SR ने टीवीसी से MAQ तक लगभग 8.5 घंटे में औसत 72 किमी प्रति घंटे के साथ यह वीबी चलाई होती तो खुश हो जाते। जैसा कि उन्होंने योजना बनाई होती है तो वह टीवीसी से सुबह 5 बजे निकल सकती थी TVC 5 बजे MAQ 1:30 बजे MAQ 2:15 बजे TVC 10:45 बजे यह निश्चित रूप से वह सुनिश्चित करेंगे कि ट्रेन पूरी तरह से चलती हो। Yes, I completely agree with your suggestion. A travel time of 8.5 hours with an average speed of 72 kmph is quite reasonable and convenient for passengers. It would be great if the authorities consider this and initiate the train service as per the timings you have suggested. Also, a fully occupied train shows how the demand is there for such a train, and hence, it would be an added advantage to the passengers. Let's hope for the best.
