*SHRI SANAT KUMAR MANDAL (JOYNAGAR) : I like to draw your kind attention to the fact that the first phase of the double line project between Sonarpur and Ghutiari Sharif Stations along Sonarpur-Canning section, Sealdah South, Eastern Railways, has been completed. But the work of the second phase double line along the section between Ghutiari Sharif and Canning Railway Stations is yet to be undertaken.
As you know sir, under the dynamic leadership of our Honourable Chief Minister Shri Naveen Patnaik, Orissa has taken effective steps for a prosperious industrial revolution. So Railway Ministry should give special priority for development of Railway Infrastructure in Orissa. Though on several occasions we have submitted several memorandums to the Honourable Railway Minister yet Railway Ministry did not pay any special heed to the same I would therefore draw the attention of the Honourable Minister that special priority be accorded to Orissa for survey of new railway lines, doubling of Railway lines, early completion of on-going projects in Orissa, increase of frequency of Express trains and introduction of pantry cars etc. Though East coast Railway is contributing sizable profit to the Indian Railways but Railway Ministry is discriminating Orissa since Independence.
