CHENNAI: Two years after Railway Board granted administrative sanction for developing the 4.3 km Chennai Egmore – Beach fourth line, the project received Rs 53 crore. The project is estimated to cost Rs 279 crore. The fourth line is part of the plans to develop a third terminal at Tambaram station as Chennai Central and Egmore stations cannot handle any more new trains. The completion of it is also essential for the railways to hand over Beach – Velachery MRTS section to metro rail. <\/p>\n
The railways\u2019 efforts to launch the project, however, faced bottlenecks, especially the incomplete land acquisition. A coordination meeting held by the Commissioner of Land Administration of the State government with the RBI and defence departments didn\u2019t yield any result, official sources said. \u201cAll efforts are being made to complete land acquisition,\u201d said a railway official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
