Kerala Silverline: My take on Panel Discussion

People of Kerala get a bigger dose of disinformation as Suboth Jain bats for KRDCL.

There is the added dose of seize mentality: Rly Bd/Central Govt is not interested in raising speed on the existing lines & building new lines..
..for higher speed of trains, so go for loan from Jica even if it means building a standalone line on SG which will be subsidized for ever by the taxpayer for travel by the affluent.

So govt subsidy for the affluent by the taxpayer.

I will post a detailed analysis tomorrow.
..To R. V. G. Menon:

Sir, you came out swinging! Suboth Jain couldn't give straight answer to even question. For example, your question about existing trains not being able to run on the Standard Gauge Silverline.

Kerala Silverline

Not a war of words: Let truth vanquish falsehood

This article today in Hindu says MD/KRDCL wrote to SYSTRA rejecting Alok Verma's report & asked "Systra to re-work the alignment and cost and submit a fresh report."

Good article..1/3

thehindu.com/news/national/…
..but would urge editors of Hindu to fully expose this campaign of disinformation. Please ask MD/KRDCL to substantiate his claim that this is Alok Verma's report.

The truth: It is Systra's report (See scan of the cover of the report).

Did Systra submit a fresh report? .. 2/3 Image
..If so, where is that report.

The truth: SYSTRA did not submit revised report. Thus, this report of 18.3.19 stands as the final Preliminary Feasibility Report.

I have clarified this in my recent press note of 25.4.22. Copy below... 3/3

I am an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur & IIT Delhi.

In 2006-08, I developed a solution to the problems that Indian Rly was facing in building the rail link to Kashmir.

My idea was examined and was being considered for implementation, but soon a vicious campaign to scuttle the..1/6
..process began.

I had to seek Court intervention. The Courts ruled that Railway Board acted against me for the malafide purpose of scuttling the review.

An Expert Committee appointed on orders of Delhi HC said that ongoing construction should be scrapped and my alignment..2/6
... should be adopted to start construction afresh. But, Rly Board refused to accept the unanimous recommendations of the committee.

Today, not just the Kashmir Rail Link Project but all 7 projects in Himalayas are in a deep mess because of the flawed alignment methodology..3/6
