sanghimangi 580 blog postsIt took 11 years to complete the entire project click here. In 1890s there are no modern equipments, may not have JCB's, not even high capacity trucks, still they did it. On the other hand, with cutting edge technologies and modern equipments, how many more years will it take to make gauge conversion on the existing tracks? Really disappointed.
this confuses me also .. these days ir hardly makes 500 km new line in year with all new equipment
The main practical reason is funding sir. If a project needs 350 Cr. IR allots 17 Cr. in a year. At this rate you can calculate how many years it takes for completion. Often said by ministers, IR needs approximately 1 lakh 25 thousand crore to complete all the projects. Planning commission can specially give 25 thousand crore per year for total 5 years, if they really need to improve the train service. Rather, government spends every year on petrol, diesel subsidiary for around 1 lakh 80 thousand crore. Imagine, that much money goes by just burning oil, nothing remains. If government can think wise, things can change. (But there are lot of politics involved behind spending government money on oil products and reasons are beyond the scope of the present post to discuss them).
Agree...india spending almost 10 lakh crs every year on imports...Law minister says there a lobby behind it we cannot do any thing.
Coming to the point you have a valid point...i fell only way is agitate, so u will get focus and works completes little quicker to safe guard vote bank etc. Its unfortunate but its true in many cases.

As of now, only planning commission can bail out the stalled projects by giving special fundings sir.....
