Govt. ignoring useful projects: Satheesan

It would take generations to complete the 529.45 km SilverLine project In Kerala where it takes 11 years to develop 10 kms of road, he said. The government should prepare a priority list for implementing development projects that benefits the public, he added.

Mr. Satheesan urged the government to complete the development of the Balaramapuram-Kalayikkavila road stretch in a time-bound manner, terming it a major development initiative.
