Telangana govt creating hurdles for railway development: Telangana BJP

Telangana government owes Rs 750 crore dues towards joint railway projects leading to delay in project developments in the state.

State BJP chief and Karimnagar MP, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, told the media that the railways have taken up four projects in Telangana on a cost-sharing basis with the State government namely Akkannapet-Medak new line, Bhadrachalam-Kovvur new line, Hyderabad-Secunderabad Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTSPhase-II), and Manoharabad-Kothapalli new line.

As much as Rs 703 crore is outstanding towards the share of Telangana in Manoharabad-Kothapalli, Hyderabad-Secunderabad Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS-Phase-II), and Akkannapet-Medak projects. In turn, due to the State government failing to release its share of funds, the development of these projects is delayed.

During the period from 2014 to 2021, the center has approved Rs 10,206 crore for basic amenities and railway safety measures. The Centre has approved Rs 2,420 crore, during the current financial year of 2021-22.

There are 2,495 km of new railway lines of Rs 30,351 crore growing at various stages in Telangana. Nine new projects worth Rs 17,013 crore were involved in the projects. Already, 155 km of new lines have come into operation. Also, seven doubling projects of 1,424 km projects costing Rs 14,268 crore are in progress. Of these, about 63 km have already come into operation in the state.

Kumar told the media that the railways in the State might have observed more development by timely payments of its share in the joint railway projects. The TRS government should take some steps to ensure that its dues are paid, to ensure the development and progress of railway projects pick up momentum.
