MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS

 

(SHRI RAJEN GOHAIN)

 

(a): No, Sir.

 

(b): In Southern Railway, there are path constraints on Jolarpettai – Salem – Erode – Coimbatore – Shoranur – Ernakulam – Kottayam / Alappuzha – Kayankulam sections where the line capacity utilization is more than 100% . Also, the infrastructural facilities available at Thiruvananthapuram / Kochuveli are saturated and just sufficient for the existing level of traffic.
