CONSTRUCTION OF NEW RAILWAY TERMINAL IN DELHI
LOK SABHA
Keeping in view the
increasing demands of passengers and goods traffic, the Railways
is considering proposals for provision of directional terminals
to be located at periphery of Delhi. This includes a Passenger
Terminal at Anand Vihar for East bound trains. However, the Railways’
strategy is to fully exploit terminals in Delhi area namely New
Delhi, Delhi, Nizamuddin and Delhi Sarai Rohilla before taking
up the work of additional terminals. The work pertaining to development
of existing terminals in Delhi area have already been sanctioned
and are in different stages of completion. The proposal pertaining
to new terminal in Delhi area is under consideration and examination.
This information
was given by Shri Bandaru Dattattraya, Minister of State for Railways
in a written reply to a question by Shri K.Yerrannaidu in the
Lok Sabha today.
