Finally after 1 month I got the reply of RTI addressed to DFCCIL, all the questions in my mind were removed, the future of EDFC in West Bengal was known.
1. EDFC will no longer construct any section separately under PPP model, Shonnagar to Dankuni 538 km section was initially supposed to be in 2 phases under PPP model. It was later proposed to be on the EPC model as directed by the Ministry of Railways, and DFCCIL submitted the DPR to the MoR by January 2023. As a result, the railways...
more... announced it as a multitracking project.
2. This multitracking project is not a part of DFC
3. EDFC was supposedly terminated at Shonnagar in Bihar.
4. Out of 110.58 hectares of land in West Bengal, 108.54 hectares (about 98%) were acquired, yet EDFC ended up in Andal.
please wait...Translate to EnglishFinally after a whole freakin' month, I finally got the damn reply to my RTI that I sent to DFCCIL. All the questions that were buggin' me got sorted out and now I know what the hell is gonna happen with EDFC in West Bengal.
1. So it turns out that EDFC ain't gonna construct any section separately under that stupid PPP model anymore. The Shonnagar to Dankuni 538 km section was originally supposed to be in two phases under that bullcrap PPP model, but then the Ministry of Railways told them to switch to the EPC model. And by January 2023, DFCCIL submitted some DPR thingy to the MoR. And guess what? The railways called it a multitracking project. Fancy, huh?
2. This multitracking thingamajig ain't even a part of DFC, bro.
3. Oh, and apparently, EDFC was supposed to end at Shonnagar in freakin' Bihar.
4. And get this, out of the stupid 110.58 hectares of land in West Bengal, they only managed to acquire 108.54 hectares (which is like freakin' 98%). But for some dumb reason, EDFC ended up in Andal. Can you believe it? Smh.
