Karur - Dindigul Lines

Karur - Dindigul Lines

147. SHRI  K.  GOPAL:  Will  the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state:
(a)  whether  a  survey  tor  Karur- Dindigul  broad  gauge  line  is  being done again with a view to start  the construction; and
(b) if so, when Government propose to take up the work?

THE  MINISTER  OF  RAILWAYS (PROF.  MADHU  DANDAVATE):  (a) A survey has recently been ordered for re-assessment of the  traffic  prospects and updating the cost of the conversion to BG of Tuticorin- Dindigul MG line along  with  Karur-Dindigul  new  BG link.

(b)  Decision  regarding  construction of the line will be  taken  after  com­pletion of the survey  and evaluation of  its  results.

SHRI  K.  GOPAL:  The  Minister’s reply is just like  an ice candy to a crying baby.  It is a blatant discrimi­nation  towards  South.  How  many branch lines you have given to South India? So far, how many surveys have bean conducted on this  Karur-Dindigul line?  What happened  to  those surveys?  When  do  you  propose  to complete  the  present  survey?

PROF.  MADHU  DANDAVATE: Firstly, I do not treat the hon. Mem­ber as a crying child. I treat  him as a  mature  person  and  I have  always treated him like that.

As far as the survey is  concerned, the  last  survey  conducted  in  1968 showed that at that time it was found out that the return was less than 10 per cent,but after the formation of the new  Government and  particularly after meeting  the  Delegation,  Hon. Member Shri Gopal was one of them, I felt that a reappraisal of the kt sur-very  is neeassary because of certain development near Tuticorin  port  and new traffic that is likely to be developed  in  view  of  the  cement factories  that  have  come  up and  therefore,  in the  Supplementary Grants which have been accepted by this House only in the last Session, already a reappraisal survey has been accepted,  the  necessary sanction  has been  made.  I  have made a  further constructive  suggestion  to  see  how best this particular route will become  more viable with this idea in view,  I have  convinced the  Delegation  that rather than the diversion upto Trichinopoly  they  wated,  I  am  suggesting some  other route by which the route is likely to be more viable.  I can assure the  House  that if the results  of the survey are good, with their good­will and my  good  offices,  we will be able to deliver the goods.

SHRI K. GOPAL:  Sir, the reply to a part of my question—How long  it will take  to  complete  the  survey?  I think he will add it in his reply now.I  would like to know this  from him. The proposal was to link up  Salem with  Tuticorin.  The  steel plant that is  coming up adds to the importance of Tuticorin  which I  do  not have to tell you.  As  a  part of it this Karur- Dindigul broad gauge line, new cons­truction,  as  well  as  the  Dindigul- Tuticorin  line  is  for  conversion  of metre  guage  into  broad  guaj£  I would  like  to  know  whether  he received  any  memorandum M.Ps. of all parties from Tamil Nadu and what action he has taken on that.

PROF. MADHU DANDAVATE: 
As far as the  earlier part  is  concerned, he says that I have not explajned as to when  the  survey  will  be  completed. Our normal experience  i am saying 'normal' experience is that within two seasons the survey is generally completed, and I hope—

SHRI K  GOPAL:  What is the season?

PROF. MADHU DANDAVATE; 
A season is a season

SHH| K.  GOPAL:  In  out  part  of the country there is no seasons  you apply to to the northern part of the country.

SHRI RAGAVALU MOHANARANGAM:  There  are  three  seasons  in Tamil  Nadu—hot,  hotter  and hottest!

PROF. MABHU DANDAVATE:  Iam sorry if he has misunderstood about the  season.  I  am  referring  to  the financial year, excluding of course the period  when it  is  the raining season. Otherwise  the  rest  0f  the portion  of the year is utilised.  I may assure the House that the survey will be expedi­ted.

As far  as  the other  suggestions are concerned, I do concede that a memorandum has been received, but I have been  able  to  convince  a  number  of friends  from  Tamil  Nadu  and  other places  that while  constructing  a  par­ticular  line,  the  entire  work  is to be organised  in  such  manner  that  our communications with the metre gauge in  other parts,  for instance, traffic on the-metre gauge coming from Madras, and  traffc  on  the  metre  gauge  com­ing from  Olavakkot,  s  not  disturbed and  therefore,  there  will  be  certain sections  of this line  which will have to be both metre  gauge  and  broad gauge;  not  merely  conversion  but  in addition  to  small  metre  gauge track, there  will  have  to be  broad  gauge . track, and if this is done we shall re­duce  the  number  of  transhipment points and  that will be more helpful to  the  region  to which  the  Hon’ble Membef belongs. I think you are ful­ly  satisfied.

MR SPEAKERR:  I think everybody is stftiafted,

Proinress of Eiectrtflcatton Works1247, 
SHRI O, V. ALAGESAN: Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be plea­sed to state:(a> whether it is a fact that the Controlling Committee of the Railway Board which met in 1972 to rervlew the progress of railway electrification works on various Zonal Railways and to fix up priorities for new electri­fication schemes approved inter alia(11 Araiakonam-Jolarpettai-BEangalore and Jolarpettai-Erode («7 route kms.) and (2) Madras-Arakkonam-Quatak- kal-Hospet (564 route kms.l sections in the South;

(b) whether it is a (act that the Raj Committee appointed hy the Rail­way Board in 1978 to study the ques­tion of diesel and electric tot^ctiwi on Indian Railways has reconimended for electrification of all the secttona approved by the Railway Board except the above two sections; and

(c) whether Government will in­clude the above two sections also for electrification as the Southern region is farthest from the coal fields etc.?

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI SHEO NARAIN); (a> The Controlling Committee has recom* mended electrification of Madras- Arkonam-Jolarpettai section, a part ot Arkonam-Lolarpettai-Bangalore and Jolarpettai-Erode sections, along with other sections of the Indian Railways. 
(b) No. 
(c) No. The density of traffic of these sections is not sufficiently high at present to make electrification fin­ancially viable and qualify for electri­fication at current costs
