Government has to either say Yes or No to the project or it must say that the project is under consideration or underway
NOTE: The Railway Ministry’s ‘advice’ to the Kerala government to ‘seek specific approval’ from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) to carry out a survey for the proposed Thalassery-Mysuru Railway Line is not the real hurdle for the project. The Railways are merely clearing obstructions to the project that may be a ground for those who are wanting the project to be dropped and may make this a ground to go to a Court of Law. The Railways’ ‘advice’ only further confirms that the project is already under implementation. —KBG, Editor-in-Chief
