Summary:
“Central Railway had committed to completing of a small stretch by March 31, which seems unlikely at current pace. Spending these will be under zonal general manager and we will have to send proposals for these works,” said a senior Central Railway official.With line capacity constraints, operating more trains is the biggest challenge with Central Railway and South East Central Railway (SECR). “This will help expedite the work,” said Patel.Godhni-Nagpur-Khapri and Durg-Gondia automatic signalling have been allocated Rs6 crore and Rs25 crore respectively. “This should be a big boost for the line that has taken very long to fructify. Work is already underway and this should help complete a few sections faster,” said railway analyst Alok Patel.Secondly, Nagpur-Sevagram third and fourth lines have been allocated Rs245 crore..
