PENDING RAIL PROJECTS IN WEST BENGAL
LOK SABHA
Survey for eleven
projects in West Bengal were completed during the Ninth Plan,
but work could not be taken up for execution.
However, a number
of initiatives have been taken to augment resources for expediting
completion of the ongoing projects. These include sharing by State
Governments, Public/Private Partnership, funding from Ministry
of Defence and funds for the National Rail Vikas Yojana. With
these efforts, it may be feasible to expedite the progress of
ongoing projects.
This information
was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Basanagouda
R. Patil in a written reply to a question from Shri Rupchand Murmu
in the Lok Sabha today.
