Title: Need to start the gauge conversion work on Santipur-Krishnagar railway line in West Bengal on priority basis.
SHRI ALKESH DAS (NAWADWIP): Thank you, Mr.Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak here. My question is regarding conversion of railway track from narrow gauge to broad gauge in my parliamentary constituency Nawadwip of West Bengal. I have already requested the Railway Minister for conversion of narrow gauge to broad gauge of Shantipur-Nawadwip Dham line. A survey of the part has already been completed for this. Rs.22 crore is required for conversion of 12 km. of line. I request the Minister of Railways to start the project soon.
MR. SPEAKER: Shri Ravi Prakash Verma, are you not interested?
SHRI RAVI PRAKASH VERMA : I am very much interested, Sir.
MR. SPEAKER: You all are talking to each other.
