Need To Complete The Construction Work Of Second Terminal At Kollam Railway ... on 6 February, 2018
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to complete the construction work of second terminal at Kollam Railway Station in Kerala.
SHRI N.K. PREMACHANDRAN (KOLLAM): The construction work of second terminal at Kollam railway station has been delayed. The delay is due to insufficiency of fund. The cost of work is below Rs. 10 crores. The work was announced in the railway Budget 2015-16. The work has not been completed till date. The work relating to second terminal is important. Kollam railway station is sandwiched between two National Highways. The second terminal is entry to one National Highway. The delay in completion is causing difficulty to the railway passengers and public. The passengers amenity works such as escalator and lift had also been delayed.
Hence, I urge upon the Government to provide sufficient fund and direct the concerned to complete the second terminal work at Kollam Railway Station and ensure passenger amenity works in a time bound manner.
