Goml6rufiu)o Construction/Survev of New Railwav Lines. A. Ansamalv-Sabari Railwav Line. o Angamali - Sabari Rail Project is a dream project of Kerala which connects the world famous pilgrim centre Sabarimala with Angamali. The project was first declared in the 1997-98 Railway Budget and passes through three major districts viz,, Ernakulam, Kottayam and Idukki. The areas from Angamaly towards southem side up to Erumeli are not connected by rail at present. By the completion of this project millions of people and pilgrims will benefit from the service of Railways. r In order to avoid passage of the line through the buffer zone of the Periyar Tiger Reserve, and for ease of construction and resultant reduction in cost' the alignment has been fixed at Erumeli instead of taking it upto Azhutha. o The approval for the revised alignment duly curtailing the line at Azhutha' though agreed to by State Government, is yet to be received from the Railway Board. Even though there is budget allotment for the project each year, the sanctioned amount is not disbursed in time which causes much delay in the execution of the project. Hence steps may be taken to disburse the allotment ofthe project in a timely manner. o Railways are requesting that GOK may share 50% of the cost and in reply GOK has informed that this is a continuing project and that the poor financial condilion of the State Govemment prevents it from making such large investments' In the circumstances, Government of Kerala requested Government of India to provide the amount to meet the 507o share of GOK' o The estimate for the project is pending in the Railway Board for sanction. Th€ part estimate sanclioned is only for a small stretch upto Perumbavoor. The p.ogt"rr of the work is affected for want of sanction of estimate and allotment of fi-urds. o MOR may also kindly recommend the proposal of GOK to FM' GOI for funds from the Central Government and make a favourable declaration according necessarT approvals in the Budget Speech 2015-16 and sufficient provision in the Railway Budget 2015-16. e It is also a matter of concem that the budget allocation for Angamali - Sabar- railway line is diminishing every year and the delay is escalating the costs. The land owners in Emakulam district are waiting for quite a long time now for the compensation for the acquired land. shri. Innocent M.P, has specifically requested that at least Rs.250 Crores should be allotted for this new line. r The requirement of funds to complete the line upto Perumbavoor is around Rs.l00 Crores. These amounts may also be allotted in the Railway Budget 2015-16. B. Development of Rail Infrastructure for connectinq the proposed Green Field Airport at Kannur with the existinE rail infrastructure. It is reilerated that Government of Kerala is in the process of building the fourth intemational airport in Kerala at Mattannur, Kannur as a public-private- partnership projeit. Govemment of India has identified the project as a Thrust Area for 2013. PMo,.Ministry of civ' Aviation, Gor and GoK are monitoring the project periodically. The airpo( is being planned in 2000 acres ilt;'r Mattannur, situated about 20 Km south east oi (a*u, ,orrr. "f o connectivity to this proposed airport with extemal servicevinfrastructure facilities is as important as the construction of the airport itself. rt i, ,nosi desirable to comprete the supporting infrastructure by the time ttre airport is uu i to ensure that the airport is accessibre to the peopre it is intended for and to make the ailport viable. Railway services and ttre iirport operations *outa comptem"ni each other. o Govemment of Kerala has already decided to widen/develop the roads connecting to this proposed airport and the work related to this is going to start soon. Th! linking of airport through ra rine with a raitway station at the proposed Kannur Airport would facilitate multi model access to the airport. r In the central Railway Budget 2011-12, New Line survey for Kannur-Mattannur Line was proposed and same was reiterated in the central Railway Budget of 20t2-13. o The Dy Chief Engineer (Land & General), CN/\4, in hisreport dated 6-9-2013 has intimated that the Railway Board has sanctioned a Reconnaissance Engineering- cum-Traffic Survey for a Broad Gauge Lane between Kannur - Manannur in the year 2012-13. The same has been conducted by the department and the Survey Report submitted to the Railway Board on 3l -l -2013 (length 23 KM, coit Rs.237.23 crores). The Railway Board has shelved the project vide Railway Board's letter No.20l3lW1-NL-SR-KM dated 7 -g-2013. o This proposal needs to be revived as the broad gauge lane between Kannur- Mattannur, parallel to the proposed Greenfield Road will facilitate multi model access to the airport, which will be a crucial factor in determining the operational success of the airport, as the existing and proposed road networks in and around the airport will not be sullicient to cater to the huge passenger and cargo movement expected to and from the airport after the commencement of operations. o Necessary approvals may be accorded and sufficient provisions may be provided for the project in the Railway Budget 2015-16 for the construction of the line. C. Nilambur-Nanianeud Railwav Line. The proposed 236 I(ms long Nanjangud -Sulthan Bathery- Nilambur railway line will help the comprehensive development of a vast area in Kamataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu. This line will connect Mysore with Cochin in 6 hours and provide a direct and shorter Bangaloie-Kerala connectivity through Mysor" ihis line will link the remotest South Indian regions of Wayanad, Nilgiris and Malappuram to the National BG rail network and will be a boon to the people of Wayanad, who are facing difficulties due to the lackof over night road traffic for the protection of wild animals. r The line has immense tourist and pilgrimage potential as it wilt link Mysore, Wayanad, Nilgiris, Guruvayur and Sabarimala and will connect Wayanad with Mysore Airport and the IT cities of Mysore and Bangalore, by rail. This line c would boost the economic development of tribal and backward areas located in the three states, and which do not have rail connectivity at present. o During Hon'ble chief Minister's discussion with the iormer Railway Minister on 28/8/13, sanction was assured for the 72km Nanjangud-sultnan natirery tine as a first phase of the Nanjangud-sulthan Bathery-N ambur Road line if 5b% of the cost for this line is shared by Kerala and Kamataka state govemments. o 'cost of the lst phase of this line is Rs.64l,7g crores as per the latest estimate. Hon chief Ministers of Kamataka and Kerala in a joint meeting have agreed to move together to sanction this line. r shorter realignment survey _ -{-_new for the second phase Sulthan Bathery Nilambur to save 80 Kms and thus Rs 2000 crores may also be considered. GOK has agreed to bear the pro rata share of the 50yo of the cost of construction and has initially announced Rs.5 cr. in the state Budget for the same in 2014-15. r Sufficient provisions may be made for the project as Railway share in the Railway Budget 2015-16. D. Guruvavoor -Thirunavava Railwav Line r The Guruvayoor - Thanoor Railway line was announced in the Railway budget 1995-96 with a view to introduce more trains in the Malabar region of the State to cater to the needs of the traveling public. Land acquisition proceedings have already been initiated in Thrissur district. Keeping the larger public interest in view, the alignment of this new railway line has been fixed near the Canoli Canal in Malappuram District and through Kunnumkulam in Thrisuur district, in consultation with all peoples' representatives and others concerned.
