Railways speeds up special status projects
A special status has been granted on the basis of a request made by Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis to Railway Minister, Suresh Prabhu. With the new sanction in hand, the acquisition of land for the railway line can be expedited and immediate possession of the land can be achieved and the direct land purchase policy of the state government would enable the farmers to get competitive price for their land. The Railways can save funds in avoiding contesting disputes that may arise due to the old land acquisition policy. As a matter of fact, over 14 kms of track can be laid immediately out of 180 km, for which the land has already been acquired.
