THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister Saji Cheriyan has corrected the statement that there will be no buffer zone on both sides of the Silverline. The minister's correction came after CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan confirmed that there would be a buffer zone on both sides of the road.

'The party secretary was right about the buffer zone. I may have made a mistake. Human beings make mistakes.', said the Minister.
