Land acquisition remains a major hurdle, says GM
The Southern Railway plans to complete the fourth line project between Chennai Beach and Egmore railway stations by 2024, for which steps are being taken to acquire land through the Commissioner of Land Administration (CLA).
Southern Railway General Manager John Thomas said the Railway Board had given administrative sanction for executing the fourth line project between Chennai Beach and Egmore and the project would be executed under the Vision 2024 of the Indian Railways.
Land acquisition remained a main hurdle in the project. A major portion of the land needed to be acquired from the Defence department and the RBI. The CLA held a meeting with various stakeholders last week in this regard, he said.
