Title : Need to extend Railway network in Sunderbans area of Mathaurapur Parliamentary Constituency, West Bengal.
PROF. BASUDEB BARMAN (MATHURAPUR): People living in the Sunderbans area (South 24 Parganas and North 24 Parganas Districts) of West Bengal, a good part of which is in my Parliamentary Constituency, 16 Mathurapur (SC), are suffering to a great extend due to inadequate railway service facilities.
I request the Hon’ble Railway Minister to take immediate steps for extension of railway network facilities for: Jaynagar to Raidighi, Canning to Jamtala, Jaynagar to Dhamakhali and Park Circus to Dhamakhali; laying of double lines in the Baruipur–Diamond Harbour Section of which Baruipur–Magrahat sub-section requires most immediate attention and action, and in Baruipur–Lakshmimikantapur –Kakdwip–Namkhana Section. It is needless to reiterate that passengers especially the daily passengers of the area suffer very badly due to heavy pressure on the single tracks in these sections. Also, a Halt station at Madhavnagar Raod between Nishchindapur and Kashinagar stations in Lakshmikantapur–Kakdwip–Namkhana sub-section is an urgent necessity.
I urge upon the Government that steps be immediately taken to mitigate the sufferings of the common people of the Sunderbans area of West Bengal.
