He was speaking after meeting with Special Representative of Kerala Govt in Delhi, Prof. KV Thomas. The change of heart pertains Sreedharan’s earlier view that K-Rail was not suitable to Kerala in its present form.
Prof. KV Thomas met with E Sreedharan at his house in Ponnani. Special Officer AK Vijay Kumar too was present at the 2-hour-long discussion on K-Rail. E Sreedharan recently said high speed rail was essential for Kerala, KV Thomas told “Deshabhimani”.
