NEW DELHI/ SILCHAR, June 9: Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said the Silchar-Lumding BG conversion work will be accorded topmost priority in the Railway Budget and the Guwahati-Jhajha weekly train will be made bi-weekly very shortly. An announcement in this connection may be made in the Railway Budget. She assured Karimganj MP Lalit Mohan Suklabaidya of this when he met her at Parliament office today.
Suklabaidya submitted a memorandum to the Railway Minister demanding immediate renovation of Karimganj, Badarpur and Hailakandi rail stations so as to give them a modern and impressive look with best amenities for passengers. At Badarpur in south Asom, the area office may be converted to a divisional office where there is enough railway land, he said. The MP further demanded of the Railway Minister to extend railway line from Dullabhchhera to Cheragi. The project could not be taken up for want of Rs 66 crore.
The All Barak Youth Students’ Association (ABYSA) has also submitted a memorandum to the Railway Minister for early completion of the BG conversion work from Silchar to Lumding. The association has also demanded restoration of rail service between Badarpur and Lumding as early as possible. Meanwhile, the ABYSA has sought intervention of Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee into the Lumding-Badarpur and Silchar-Lumding Broad Gauge project. A team of ABYSA will soon visit New Delhi and organize a sit-in dharna in front of the Rail Bhavan to draw Banerjee’s attention to the jinxed project. The ABYSA demanded immediate restoration of train services in the hill section. THE SENTINEL
