AllIsWell | Raichur-Gadwal railway line yet to be inaugurated on : September 08, 2013 - 21:00:16 PM |
People in the region were excited when the Union Minister for Railways Mallikarjun Kharge announced on July 2 that the 58 km stretch of broad-gauge railway line between Raichur in Karnataka and Gadwal in Andhra Pradesh, would be dedicated to the nation on August 15, 2013. Unfortunately the plan has not materialised due to various factors.The work for the new line was taken up in 2001–02 when the NDA was in power at the CentreThe project cost was pegged at Rs. 109 crore. A total of 652 acres of land was acquired from farmers of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh (398 acres from Karnataka and 254 acres from Andhra Pradesh). The work was supposed to be completed in 2008. Protest by the farmers over fair prices for their lands, legal hurdles, and the floods in 2009 delayed the work. The work of the new line was completed early this year. Stations were built along the route with necessary amenities. The final touches were done by officials to make it ready for inauguration on August 15.“The commissioning of a new rail line can take place only after Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) approves the lane after inspection. The work on the broad-gauge line between Raichur and Gadwal has been completed and we are waiting for the clearance of CRS, which comes under the Ministry of Civil Aviation,” Sambasiva Rao K., Chief Public Relation Officer, South Central Railway, told The Hindu from Secunderabad. |

Kozhikode: The festive season and vacations bring with them a surge in air and rail passenger traffic, but the state has proved a complete failure in handling the rush of people.With Onam falling on September 16, a Monday this year, train tickets from cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai to major cities in Kerala have been sold out weeks ago.In the struggle to reach home, non-resident Keralites are being forced to depend on tatkal tickets as there is a nearly 3000 long waiting list on most of the daily trains to the Malabar, such as the Chennai- Mangalore superfast, and Yeshwanthpur- Kannur Express.But diminishing the hopes of passengers, only less than a 100 tatkal tickets are issued for a train on a given day and that too at a cost of Rs 1200 or more by some travel agencies in Bengaluru. Adding to passenger troubles, tickets of the Kerala bound Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation buses for the first three weeks of September were completely sold out by August last. Also, while bus fares from cities like Bengaluru to the state have risen sharply, air fares between the Middle East and Kerala have risen by nearly 300 per cent. “There is usually a surge in inward bound travelling to Kerala during Onam, Christmas, Eid and the summer vacations coinciding with the closure of schools in March with a good many Malayalis settled in other parts of the country and abroad heading back home. |
