MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI K.H. MUNIYAPPA)
(a) & (b): Amreli and Bhavnagar are already connected by railway line via
Dhasa & Dhola. A survey for new line between Bhavnagar-Tarapur was completed
during 2006-07 as per which cost of this 135 km long line was assessed as
Rs. 411.27 crore. The proposal could not be considered due to its un-remunerative
nature, heavy throw-forwarded of ongoing projects and constraint of resources.
