Here are some promises from the last year's budget which are yet to be fulfilled:
Wi-fi at Habibganj-Jabalpur
The budget had offered wi-fi facilities for Jabalpur, Habibganj and Kota railway stations but the coveted amenity is yet to be started at any of the railway stations in the zone.
Mechanised Laundry
The Bhopal railway station was slated to get a mechanised laundry but as of now the railway administration only has managed to earmark the land for the project. The remaining work is yet to take off.
Third railway line on Bhopal-Bina railway line
The last rail budget had provisioned Rs 50 crore for the under construction Bhopal-Bina rail line and sources claim that majority of the work has been done and the rail link could be operational by March this year. However same is not the case with Barkheda-Bhopal rail link which had received Rs 22 crore in the last budget.
Indore-Khandwa rail link
The budgetary allocations were made for the much awaited Indore-Khandwa rail link last year but the progress is minimal. NTPC too has made Rs 450 crore allocation for Khandwa –Sanawad track but the progress of the project has remained stagnant.
Indore-Manmad
The crucial industrial rail link of Indore-Manmad had failed to find mention in the rail budget presented last year. Union minister Nitin Gadkari had promised funding for the link from the port trust given the vast potential of the region which sends around 1.25 lakh containers of manufactured goods per annum. However the project is still in limbo.
Meanwhile, IS Siddiqui Bhopal division railway spokesperson said “The wi-fi facility has been started at Habibganj station, the work is underway for mechanised laundry at Bhopal station while Bhopal-Bina rail track has see considerable progress."
