Completion  of  railway  projects  depend  upon  factors  such  as  land acquisition, forest and wildlife clearance, shifting of services, construction  of  road  over  bridges  and  road  under  bridges  by  State Authorities, modification to power line crossings etc., apart from availability of funds.   As many of these factors are not within the control of Railways, timeline for completion of these projects are not fixed.

However,  in  order  to  expedite  the  execution  of  the  project,  various steps  have  been  taken  to  generate  extra  budgetary  resources  through institutional  funding,  state  participation,  public  private  partnership  etc. For  early  completion  of  these  projects,  State  Government  are  pursued through  regular  meetings  with  Chief  Secretary  and  other  concerned officials to speed up the pending cases in connection with land acquisition and forestry and to provide additional security at work sites in law and order affected areas. *******
