The government today said it will expedite the construction of three critical rail lines to facilitate faster transportation of coal to power plants, thereby helping in bringing nearly 100 million tonnes of incremental traffic to Railways, reported PTI. The announcement comes at a time when the power plants across the country are facing fuel shortages, as per the media reports. "Railways will speed up construction of critical coal connectivity lines in Tori-Shivpur-Kathautia Area (in North Karanpura, Jharkhand), Jharsuguda-Barpalli-Sardega (in IB Valley, Odisha) and Bhupdeopur-Raigarh-Mand Area (in Chhattisgarh)," Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda said while presenting Railway Budget 2014-15. "This will bring nearly 100 million tonnes (MT) of incremental traffic to Railways and will also facilitate faster transportation of coal to power houses," Gowda said. The three rail corridor projects, entailing about Rs 7,500 crore expenditure, are under different phases of development, as per the reports in the media.
