Reacting to Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president K. Sudhakaran’s comment that party workers would uproot the markers placed by the government to demarcate the alignment of the proposed semi-high-speed railway line, the Chief Minister said in Kumily on Wednesday that the project would be implemented even if opposed by vested interests.
Inaugurating the valedictory function of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) Idukki district conference, Mr. Vijayan said the United Development Front government had stopped national highway (NH) development works when some groups opposed it.

The government would implement all developmental projects even if opposed by some groups, he said.
