MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI ADHIR RANJAN CHOWDHURY)
(a) Yes, Madam. Residents of Vantada village had demanded an approach
road through railway land at level crossing No. 203 (km. 308/3-4), Virawada
station on Ahmedabad-Himmatnagar section.
(b) It was mutually agreed between Railway and State Government for
leasing of 300m X 12m and 90m X 12m strip of railway land on payment of
cost to Railways by State Government as per extant rules for making pucca
road. Railway has advised State Government on 29.03.2011 to deposit the
requisite amount. No response has been received from State Government
till date.
However, to reduce hardship of local residents a temporary approach
road has been provided.
