Title : Need to expedite the construction of Ramganjmandi-Bhopal via Jhalawar railway line.

 

SHRI DUSHYANT SINGH (JHALAWAR): The construction of Ramganjmandi-Bhopal railway line vie Jhalawar is moving at a slow pace. During the previous budgetary allocation this train line received very low financial allocation.

            At the time of inception of the project the total project cost was 727 crore. But now there is steep increase in price & the fund allocation is not sufficient.

            I, therefore, urge the Ministry of Railways to increase allocation for the train line from Ramganjmandi to Bhopal via Jhalawar. This will provide alternative route to Mumbai during Monsoon season or when there is a derailment etc. This route will also help the Dhania Mandi of Ramganjmandi to transport the goods to Mumbai and onwards.

            I urge the railway Ministry to expedite the construction of this train line.
