These hold projects are mostly in the regions of Midnapur ( east ), bankura, Purulia, hooghly, burdwan, Howrah districts. There are many Railfans in these regions and also many Railway Official are in this forum. If we can find out the present status of these projects and when can be completed or if some of these projects are Permanently stopped by Railways, we can list them and atleast those projects which are still alive, . We can Tweet about this to RM, then i think if these projects gets completed then there will be huge development in West Bengal state.
