After having seen the implementation for last one year, I have reached the conclusion that adding new projects to already sanctioned large shelf of on-going projects will only aggravate the problem. Therefore, I have taken this bold decision of not including any new line project in the next year’s budget. I am afraid this may disappoint many of my Hon’ble colleagues here. But, Sir, in the long-term interests of Indian Railways I feel that this has become inescapable.

GAUGE CONVERSION The sections of which gauge conversion has either been completed or would be completed before March, 2001 are:

i Nonera-Seoni section of Guna-Etawah project.

ii. Raxaul-Birganj section.

iii.Gandhidham-Bhuj section.

During the year 2001-02, Railways plan to complete the gauge conversion of the following sections:

i. Seoni-Bhind ii. Amguri-Tuli iii. Makum-Dangri iv. Laxmanthirtha bridge v.Gooty-Pendakallu vi. Dhrangadara- Kuda vii. Wankaner-Morbi DOUBLING During the current year about 200 km of doubling would be completed, while in the next financial year a target of 300 km has been proposed. Sir, keeping in view the critical need to augment line capacity in certain saturated sections, you will be happy to know that the following new doubling works are being included in the budget.

ii. Extension of BDR gauge conversion project by a new link from Bowai-Chandi to Khana to connect Midnapur, Bankura and Purulia.

iii. Extension of Mansi-Saharsa Gauge Conversion project up to Dauram-Madhepur.

iv. Gauge conversion from Krishnanagar-Shantipur as an extension to the sanctioned doubling from Kalinarayanpur to Krishnanagar.
