for poor sectional capacity may be due to the fact that the gauge conversion of Londa-Goa section was done hurriedly by the then RM/Govt, probably without considering the necessity of realignment at critical sections which is normally done during the GC of hilly/ghat sections. This might have resulted in poor sectional capacity of the converted section. There were allegations of corruptions that tender was not awarded as per guidelines and some sort of favouritism was done.
