            I would come back to the statistics.  Let them also look into it to know as to what were their allocations and as to what are our allocations. … (Interruptions) I would state about other States.   The Plan outlay in 2002-03 was Rs.12,000 crore whereas we have allocated Rs.31,000 crore, which is about three times and  not just double the allocations in a period of three years.  In the first year, they could allot only Rs.8,965 crore whereas today, we have allotted Rs.31,000 crore.  Where is the amount going? This amount is going for the purposes of new lines… … (Interruptions) I do not want to go into the region specific or area specific. … (Interruptions) Shri Gehlot sahab I am giving the facts which can be looked into.  You can even compare these facts – from Rs.13,000 crore to Rs.31,000 crore.  The amount is going for gauge conversion, new lines, electrification, doubling and building of wagons, coaches and so on.  In this Budget we have seen 800 new coaches that are going to be built. 

 2.        The MG line between Dindigul to Coimbatore is 90 years old line in Tamilnadu. Gauge conversion was announced in the last Budget. Distance is 228.88 km. and cost of the amount is 344.17 crore. In the present budget only 30 crore is allocated for this scheme. I feel that this amount is not sufficient to complete the gauge conversion in a speedy manner. Moreover, for this scheme Dy. Chief Engineer's Office is now located at Madurai. I request the above office to be shifted either Dindigul (starting place) or Pothanur (finishing place).
