Ministry of Railways Advances 29 Projects in Tamil Nadu Amidst Land Acquisition Challenges
The Ministry of Railways in India has sanctioned 29 surveys over the past four years, covering 2,501 kilometers in Tamil Nadu. This initiative includes six new railway lines and 23 line doubling projects. However, progress is hindered by land acquisition delays, with only 24% of the required 4,326 hectares acquired. The Indian government urges the Government of Tamil Nadu to expedite land acquisitions to facilitate infrastructure developments. Factors affecting project completion include land acquisition, statutory clearances, and funding.
