Sir it has been more than 20 years now the formation of secr. Still one thing I don't understand every zone gets atleast one or two new rail lines in every years budget but there has been not a single new rail line implemented by secr. Whatever the work is going on is bcoz of BSP, SECL, NMDC and NTPC with their own funds and not a single penny has been provided by secr in 2 decades.
They always recite the very old notion of unprofitability but i don't understand how can be the laying of rail lines in the states of Chhattisgarh Jharkhand and Orissa be loss making. Whatever be the expenditure occured in laying on tracks can easily be recovered...
more... in 5 years by transportation of valuable resources.
