NORTH CENTRAL RAILWAY MIRZAPUR PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCY Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of Nation is served by North Central Railway along with Northern, North Eastern M. C. Chauhan and East Central Railways. Indian Railways (IR) plays a very General Manager important role in development of the state and provides North Central Railway connectivity for freight and passengers, including international tourists. IR has a history of more than 160 years in the state and has the highest route kilometers - 9100 route kilometers - within it, which is 14% of entire railway network. IR has made Uttar Pradesh proud by giving it Nation's first semi high speed train Gatimaan Express, which initially ran between Agra and Delhi. It has now been extended upto Jhansi with effect from 01.04.2018 - a move that will boost tourism in bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Efforts for further development of railway infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh have been intensified in last four years with 376% more investment in comparison to previous years. Results of such a massive investment are becoming visible with enhanced infrastructure and modern passenger amenities. Soon the era of congestion and inconvenience will be a matter of past and a new Railway equipped with state-of-the-art facilities will be able to serve the citizens with greater level of satisfaction. The longest stretch of the under construction Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor i.e. almost 57% of the entire length lies in Uttar Pradesh from Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Jn. to Ghaziabad. In this brochure, we have compiled the important contributions and achievements of Indian Railways in the development of the MIRZAPUR constituency of Uttar Pradesh in the last four years. I hope that it will serve as a ready reckoner for those eager to know about the role of Railways in the development of this constituency. It may be noted that the budgets allocated to various projects are not apportioned constituency wise but reflect the cost of the project.
