The Central government has decided to take up 30 railway projects including 15 new railway lines in Telangana with a total outlay of Rs 83,543 crore, Union Tourism and Culture Minister G Kishan Reddy said on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters, the Union Minister alleged that due to the ‘non-cooperation’ of the ruling BRS government, works on laying over 700 km railway tracks have been stalled.
‘We (the Centre) have asked the state government to speed up the land acquisition for railway projects. We seek the state government’s support for projects such as Phase II of Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) in Hyderabad. The state government has been non-cooperative,’ Reddy, who is also Telangana BJP president, alleged.
