Questions and Demands:
1. Hon. Sanjay Jadhav raised question about not to extend Mumbai-Latur to Nanded, although it is declared in budget.
Ans. We'll enquire about the same and let you know.
2. Again, Hon. Sanjay Jadhav pointed out that why there is no regular train to Pune, although there is heavy demand. He said that Bus Operators takes 8 Hrs to reach Pune, however, train is taking 12-14 hrs to reach Pune. So, are SCR officers are getting some monetary benefits from them.
Ans: We are not getting cooperation from CR. Well, we'll try to start train to Pune regularly. Further, he added we are not getting any kind of benefit, its because of CR only, we are unable to get good timings. There is problem of space also at Pune.
3. Hon. Sanjay Dhotre asked about the status of Akola-Khandwa Broad-Gauge?
Ans: This route is going through Forest area. It's because of that we are getting problem. Forest Dept. of Maharashtra has suggested to change the existing route. We've studied the same, and found that alternate route is 22 KM's more than present route, which increases the cost of this project.
