Answer given by the minister


MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI MANOJ SINHA)

(a) to (c): Tellapur-Ramachandrapuram (5.5 Km) is a part of Multi-Model Transport System (MMTS-II) project costing ` 816.55 Crore being shared between Ministry of Railways and State Government in the ratio of 1:2. 45 Crore have been spent till 31.03.2015 and an allocation of ` 8 Crore has been made for the year 2015-16 by Ministry of Railways. Completion of projects depends upon funds available for allotment, acquisition of land, statutory clearances like shifting of services, cutting of trees, construction of road over bridges and road under bridges by road maintaining agencies, decision on location of station near airport etc. Since many of these factors are not under control of Ministry of Railways, time frame for completion of project has not been fixed.
