is the reason the official cited. Now regarding those houses and their residents most of the people residing in those houses are not Goan natives they are Non Goans. Now see the fun those who oppose doubling in the name of environment and heritage buildings are the same people who want to throw those outsiders Non Goans out of Goa.
Regarding the heritage buildings those are only located in between Majorda to Cansaulim around 5 kms and I don't think for laying new tracks those buildings will have to be demolished. These people are simply anti-establishment kind of.
Also who cares of the Portuguese heritage the same Portuguese who murdered thousands of Goans in the name of religion ?

- With departure of Mr Prabhu from Rly Ministry, KR doubling is no longer a priority. However, electrification is going on briskly, in line with IR policy to electrify all BG routes in coming few years.
