Pamban Sethu - இது தான் நம்முடைய ராமர் சேது - Darnish C

Infrastructure- Development are interdependent...like 1st egg or 1st hen...
as far as infrastructure is concerned...let me give u some facts..
1. AWB exports approximately 3000 containers per yr from its container depot...next 3-4 yrs prediction is that it will increase to approximately 5000 containers per years which accounts to approximately 1000 Corers rupees worth of industrial products. AWB goods shed handles 5 Corers rupees of goods per yr (Sorted info in RTI, SCR did not provide income from container depot)
2....
more...

In FY 2014-15 AWb crossed income of 50 Corers, so you can imagine passenger flow ( I accept it is till very low compared to big stations...but significant though.
3. Now about other facilities...the attitude of SCR is like this: Since there are no terminal facilities, they can't give new trains and other facilities to AWB. And since there are no trains (to imp destinations) originating from AWB, they can't give terminal facilities since there is no (so called) income. But SCR simply ignores the fact that every yr thousands of travellers visit to AWB for tourism, business and educational purpose, similarly AWB citizens also travel to other cities of India. Right now I do not have in and out going tourist and business purpose ppls from AWB, but soon I ll sort it from RTI.
Now plz tell me, can't SCR simple give some basic terminal facilities at AWB which will help AWB to increase its income upto 130 Corers?
4. As far as route utilization is concerned, it is misused rather than used... poor track maintenance and trains only for Shirdi pax...
5. Doubling is started..lets see. AWB-Chalisgaon, NED-Wardha route construction will also start soon..that will also help AWB in my view..
