MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI R. VELU)
(a) & (b) : Yes, Sir. However, Lucknow-Barabanki section which
is a part of Lucknow-Gorakhpur line is already electrified
and due to relative priority for electrification of
other high density routes, there is, at present, no
proposal to electrify Barabanki-Gorakhpur railway line.
