MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI DIGVIJAY SINGH)
(a) & (b) : Shahganj and Amethi are already connected by rail to New Delhi. Further, a survey for construction of a new line from Shahganj to Amethi via Sultanpur and Kadipur was carried out during 1982-83. The work was not sanctioned being financially not viable. Updating of the survey of 1982-83 has again been taken up. The report is excepted during the next financial year. Further consideration of the proposal will be possible once the updated survey report becomes available.
