AURANGABAD: Amid outcry over biased treatment to Nanded division by the South Central Railway (SCR), Union minister of state for railways Raosaheb Danve on Wednesday said rail infrastructure works worth Rs 4,264 crore have been sanctioned for Maharashtra under the jurisdiction of SCR.
“These works include 263-km of double-line, 42-km of third-line and 930-km of electrification,” Danve told reporters after chairing the first-of-its-kind meeting involving SCR authorities and MPs from the region.
Danve said doubling of railway line between Mudkhed-Parbhani for a length of 81-km has already been completed whereas electrification works between Akola-Lohagad for a distance of 34 km have also been accomplished.
