MALAPPURAM: P. Sivadas Nair, 80, former deputy chief controller of South-Central Railways who had spearheaded the campaign for development of Nilambur rail route, died at a private hospital in Kozhikode on Thursday.

He is survived by a son and a daughter.

Condoling the death of Mr. Nair, Nilambur-Mysore Railway Action Council leader Biju Nainan said that he was instrumental not only in bringing development to the rail route in Nilambur but also in generating a new consciousness among the people about the potential and necessity of linking Nilambur with Mysore by rail.

T.K. Hamza, MP, Aryadan Mohammed, MLA, and K. Vasudevan, BJP disciplinary council member will attend.
