Major push to Indian Railways! Modi government allocates Rs 6,080 crore for railway sector in Tamil Nadu
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday (November 27) informed that the Central government has allocated 6,080 crore rupees for the railway sector’s development in Tamil Nadu over the past year.
Comparing this to the pre-2014 period under the UPA government when Tamil Nadu’s allocation was merely 879 crores, Vaishnaw highlighted the significant increase in funding by PM Narendra Modi.
“Before 2014, when the UPA government was there, the allocation for Tamil Nadu used to be only 879 crores. PM Modi is today giving Rs 6,080 crores for the railway sector in Tamil Nadu. The projects which were pending in past are progressing very well. 75 stations in Tamil Nadu state are being redeveloped to a world-class level,” Vaishnaw said.
