NEW DELHI ; ANANT GANGARAM GEETE Chairman, Committee on Petitions 17 December, 2013 26 Agrahayana, 1935 (Saka) REPORT REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED FROM SHRI ANANDRAO ADSUL AND SMT. BHAVANA GAWALI PATIL, MPs, LOK SABHA REGARDING CONVERSION OF NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY LINES YAWATMAL-MURTIZAPUR-ACHALPUR- PULGAON INTO BROAD GAUGE AND OTHER RELATED ISSUES. *********** Shri Anandrao Adsul and Smt Bhavana Gawali Patil, MPs, Lok Sabha submitted two representations dated 23 November 2011 and 19 May 2012 regarding conversion of Narrow Gauge railway line Yawatmal-Murtizapur-Achalpur-Pulgaon into Broad Gauge before the Committee on Petitions. 2. The Hon’ble Members inter-alia stated that there is a long pending demand for Gauge Conversion of Achalpur – Murtizapur (77 Kms.), Murtizapur – Yavatmal (113 kms.) and Pulgaon – Arvi (35 kms.) Narrow Gauge lines into Broad Gauge line. Presently, these sections of rail lines are owned by a private company known as the Central Provinces Railway Company Limited (Killick & Nickson Ltd. Company Britain) and operated by the Central Railway. The Central Provinces Railway Company Limited is unable to bear the expenditure to be incurred on the repair and maintenance of these lines. Due to poor maintenance of these rail lines, train is being run on these lines at an average speed of 16-17 km per hour. The Railway lines pass through Anjangaon, Achalpur, Murtizapur, Paratwada areas, which are agriculturally rich and best irrigated area of the Maharashtra State. This area is also famous for cotton, chilly and orange cultivation. Finlay Mill Project has also been set up there. In the absence of Broad Gauge rail line facility, the farmers and business community are facing hardship which has impeded the overall growth of the area. 3. The Hon'ble Member had also referred to the Third Action Taken Report of the Committee on Petitions (13th Lok Sabha) on the matter, wherein, the Committee had recommended the Ministry of Railways to finish the Survey Work of the Project under reference at the earliest. However, nothing has been done so far in this direction. 4. The Hon'ble Members have therefore, requested the Committee to look into the matter so as to address the long awaiting grievances of the people of the areas under reference. 5. The Committee on Petitions took up the representation for examination under Direction 95 of the Directions by the Speaker, Lok Sabha. Accordingly, the representation from Shri Anandrao Adsul, MP was forwarded to the Ministry of Railways on 12.12.2011 for their comments. 6. In reply thereto, the Ministry vide their OM dated 25 May, 2012 have made their submission in the matter as follows:- “The narrow gauge lines of Murtizapur-Yawatmal, Murtizapur-Achalpur and Pulgaon-Arvi sections were originally owned by the Central Provinces Railway Company Limited and currently managed by M/s Killick & Nickson Ltd. These lines are operated by Central Railway in terms of an agreement between the then CP Railway and Great Indian Peninsula (GIP) Railway (now Central Railway). 1. Achalpur-Murtizapur (77 kms.) 2. Murtizapur-Yawatmal (113 kms.) 3. Pulgaon-Arvi (35 kms.) Preliminary engineering cum traffic survey (PETS) for gauge conversion of these narrow gauge line into broad gauge was carried out in July’ 2005 and again updated in Oct’ 2008. As per updated survey report, the cost of this project was assessed as Rs. 464.78 crore with an ROR of (-) 5%. This report was based on ‘One Train Only System’ in all three sections. The project being highly unremunerative was shelved by the Ministry of Railways.” 7. While giving a brief background of Project under reference, the representatives of the Ministry of Railways vide their written reply submitted:- “The operations in these sections are handled by Central Railway in terms of an agreement between the then CP Railway and Central Railway. Presently, only one pair of passenger train is being operated in Murtizapur-Yawatmal and Murtizapur-Achalpur sections by the Central Railway. No trains are being operated in Pulgaon-Arvi section. Track and other structures in the section are very old and need rehabilitation. An investment of approximately Rs. 5 crore in Murtizapur-Achalpur and Rs. 18 crore in Pulgaon-Arvi would be required for making them safe to run trains at a maximum permissible speed of 25 kmph.” 8. When the Committee enquired about the revenue sharing agreement entered into between the private company and the Central Railways and the status of maintenance of connecting rail line on either sides of Achalpur-Murtizapur (77 kms.), Murtizapur-Yawatmal (113 kms.), and Pulgaon-Arvi (35 kms.), the representatives of the Ministry in written reply submitted as follows :- “In terms of financial agreement entered into in the year 1916 with the CP Railway (M/s Killick & Nickson Ltd.): (i) Central Railway retains 45% of the gross earnings of the branch lines towards working expenses and expenditure on maintenance. (ii) The balance 55% is treated as net earnings of the company. However, track, bridges and other assets of the CP Railway lines had been much to be cared for. The company also categorically refused to deploy funds for rehabilitation/replacement of over-aged assets. To ensure safe running of trains, works of urgent nature were carried out by Central Railway in the year 2002-03 at a cost of Rs. 3.84 crore. This amount is being offset from the company’s share of earnings w.e.f. Oct’ 2002.” 9. On a pertinent query by the Committee about the non-implementation of the recommendations made by the Committee on Petitions in their Third Report (Thirteenth Lok Sabha) with regard to undertaking a feasibility survey of the rail lines under reference, the Ministry submitted in their written reply :- “Preliminary engineering cum traffic survey (PETS) for gauge conversion of these narrow gauge line into broad gauge was carried out in July’ 2005 and again updated in Oct’ 2008. As per updated survey report, the cost of this project was assessed as Rs. 464.78 crore with an ROR of (-) 5%. This report was based on ‘One Train Only System’ in all three sections. The project being highly unremunerative was shelved by the Ministry of Railways.” The Ministry further submitted in their written reply:- “The proposal of taking over of the narrow gauge line of Achalpur-Murtizapur (77 Km), Murtizapur-Yawatmal (113 Km) and Pulgaon-Arvi (35 Km) is under consideration in the Ministry. It has now been decided to update the Preliminary Engineering cum Traffic Survey report for gauge conversion of these narrow gauge line. Further decision with regard to taking over of the narrow gauge line and its subsequent conversion to Broad Gauge will be taken after the survey report is updated.” 10. On being asked by the Committee about the specific Guidelines/Rule under which the Ministry takes up project pertaining to Gauge Conversion/laying down new railway line etc., the Ministry submitted in their written reply as under :- “The policy for taking up new line projects was conceived by the National Transport Policy Committee, 1980 which prescribed the following criteria: (i) Project oriented lines to serve new industries for tapping mineral and other resources.
