91. I have been receiving representations from Hon’ble Members,
State Governments and other public representatives in large numbers
27
for construction of new lines, gauge conversion, doubling, and
electrification and also for surveys. I have been pondering over them for
the last one month. They are all genuine and reflect the growing need
and demand of the most preferred mode of transport of the people in
the country. I would sincerely wish to take up all those projects but am
severely constrained for the reasons submitted earlier. Given this
conspectus, despite the resource crunch, I propose to take up 22 projects
of new lines and one gauge conversion project on socio-economic
consideration and one doubling project after obtaining necessary
approvals/clearances. These are:
New Lines

bye pass line at Raiwala which will establish this direct link.
