After coastal Karnataka, people in Maharashtra’s Konkan region demand merger of Konkan Railway with Indian Railways

The Konkan Vikas Samithi, representing people from the Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg regions of Maharashtra, has urged the Railway Minister to merge Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd (KRCL) with Indian Railways. They argue that KRCL's financial constraints have hindered infrastructure development and expansion of the vital railway network in the Konkan region. They claim...

that KRCL, due to its lack of funds, could take four decades to align with Indian Railways infrastructure standards. The Samithi, in a letter to the Railway Minister on November 30th, detailed KRCL's inadequacies, highlighting the need for integration of the Roha-Madgaon and Madgaon-Mangaluru sections with Central and South Western Railways, respectively. They argue that merging KRCL would enable quicker implementation of projects, facilitate seamless travel between Mumbai and Konkan and between Karnataka and Bengaluru, establish a freight corridor along the West Coast, and develop terminal facilities at Sawantwadi, Ratnagiri, and Karwar. The Samithi also criticizes KRCL's 40% passenger and 50% freight surcharge, arguing that merging with Indian Railways would alleviate this burden. Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg MP Vinayak Raut has also voiced his support for the merger, writing to the Railway Minister on December 6th, stating that KRCL's limitations are hindering the Konkan region's growth.

Konkan Vikas Samithi, jo Maharashtra ke Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg region ke logon ka representation karta hai, ne Railway Minister se Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd (KRCL) ko Indian Railways mein merge karne ka request kiya hai. Unka kehna hai ki KRCL ke paas paise ki kami ki wajah se Konkan region mein railway network...

ka development aur expansion ruk gaya hai. Unka claim hai ki KRCL ko Indian Railways ke infrastructure standards se match hone mein 40 saal lag sakte hain, kyunki unke paas paise nahi hain. 30 November ko Railway Minister ko likhe gaye letter mein Samithi ne KRCL ki kamiyon ka detail bataya hai aur Roha-Madgaon aur Madgaon-Mangaluru section ko Central aur South Western Railways mein integrate karne ki zarurat batayi hai. Unka argument hai ki KRCL ko merge karne se projects jaldi complete honge, Mumbai aur Konkan ke beech aur Karnataka aur Bengaluru ke beech travel aasan hoga, West Coast par freight corridor ban payega, aur Sawantwadi, Ratnagiri, aur Karwar mein terminal facilities ban payengi. Samithi ne KRCL ke 40% passenger aur 50% freight surcharge ki bhi criticism ki hai, unka kehna hai ki Indian Railways mein merge karne se yeh burden kam hoga. Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg ke MP Vinayak Raut ne bhi 6 December ko Railway Minister ko likhe gaye letter mein merger ka support kiya hai, unhone kaha hai ki KRCL ki kamiyon ki wajah se Konkan region ka development ruk raha hai.
