please wait...Translate to EnglishThe Bowaichandi-Khana new line project of South Eastern Railway is not doing well. The state government has acquired 90% of the required land, but the remaining land acquisition proposals are still pending. They have deposited Rs. 14.03 crore to the state government and finalized the earthwork contract on the acquired land. However, the foundation and substructure of Major Bridge No. 17 & 18 are completed, but the people who lost their land are not allowing the work to proceed without providing them with jobs. As a result, the work is not progressing. The railway has written a letter to the Railway Board to clarify the job situation for the land losers. At that time, the project's progress was only 20%. They have started the process to prematurely close contracts because the land losers are not cooperating. Now, the project has been fully closed by the Railway Board. This information was obtained from a friend working at the Garden Reach Kolkata SER HQ, and it is the status as of the 2018-2019 year.
