cipline are among the highlights budget.

a significant amount of Rs.
1,785 crore has been earmarked for building roadover and road-under bridges.

to harness the ideas generated from staff.
In a bid to modernise
Indian Railway network,
Bullet train has been proposed on Mumbai-Ahmadabad sector besides increasing speed of trains to 160-200

Srinagar, July 9: The
Kashmir-based business community has
expressed disappointment over the railway
budget presented
today in the Parliament.
President, Kashmir
Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, Sheikh
Ashiq said: “There is
nothing to welcome
in the railway budget.
Not a single demand
of Kashmiri tourism traders has been
incorporated in the
budget.”
“For years we have
demanding rail coach
factory in Kashmir.
Had it been demanded
by any other state
in India, the railway
ministry won’t have
said no, “he said.
“Even the Chief
Minister had urged
the centre to commission a coach factory in
the state like that of in
Punjab,” he stressed.
He said: “The KCCI
was at least expecting
that the budget will
announce some new
rails to Jammu to help
boost industrial and
tourism sectors in the
state, but that too has
not happened.”
Pertinently, Chief
Minister, Omar Abdullah had last year
demanded setting up
of a rail coach factory
in Jammu & Kashmir,
which would provide
much-needed help in
overcoming industrial
backwardness and economic shortcomings in
the state.
President, Kashmir
Hotels and Restaurant
Association, Showkat
Chowdhary alleged
that government of
India has always
adopted “dual policy”
towards Jammu and
Kashmir. “While all
the benefits are doled
out to other parts of
the country, Kashmir
is neglected.”
“Look to the present
railway budget, our
demand to increase
frequency of trains
from others states to
Jammu, has again
been ignored,” he said.
Chowdhary said
that tourism players
have been urging the
central leadership to
start special trains to
the state for boosting
the tourism sector.
“However, so far nothing has been done in
this regard.”

JK IN RAIL BUDGET

New Delhi, July 8: Presenting the railway budget on Tuesday, union
railway minister Sadananda Gowda said that one ticket service will
now enable people, mainly pilgrims, to reach Srinagar on a single
ticket as special bus service will connect Udhampur-Banihal track
by bus service and Banihal-Kashmir via railway.
“We have decided to bridge the gap of Udhampur and Banihal
by bus service through a single ticket system,” said Gowda while
presenting the budget. The move will help pilgrims to reach both
to the shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi and Amarnath without hassle.
There was a cumbersome halt at Udhampur for pilgrims where
they had to look for fresh conveyance to reach Srinagar.
The ambitious project of completing the 326-km long KatraBanihal rail link is still under process in the state.
Besides, an additional train for 119-km Banihal-Baramulla railway
track, the frequency of train trips from Banihal to Budgam, adjacent
to Srinagar, has been increased from four to eight.
This too will benefit pilgrims heading for the Amarnath yatra in
south Kashmir’s Pahalgam area, 90 km away from Srinagar.
“Both one-ticket system and increased frequency of trains will
help pilgrims to reach Pahalgam (in south Kashmir) without major
hassles. Otherwise, a pilgrim had to halt in Jammu and look for
additional bus services to reach Banihal,” said Ravi Kumar (38),
who is on a sightseeing trip in Srinagar aer paying obeisance at
the Amarnath cave shrine recently..

Safety, security and service...all
these three aspects have been
taken care of and the Railway
Minister has also made a realistic assessment about the need to
complete the ongoing projects,"
Naidu told reporters outside Parliament House.
He said hundreds of projects
were announced in the previous
budgets but the works have not
been completed.
"So this government has
taken up that responsibility of
completing all ongoing projects
on priority," the Minister said.
"Instead of going populist
and becoming unrealistic and
creating hardship to the people
in the long run, the Railway Minister has made efforts to see that
the safety, security and service
aspect is given high priority and
also completion of ongoing projects have taken on a priority,"
Naidu said.

New Delhi, July 8: Having
already effected a steep hike,
the railway budget for 201415 spared passengers of any
fresh revision in fares and
freight rates but pitched for
reforms by proposing private
and Foreign Direct Investment and Public Private
Partnership (PPP) to meet
the resource crunch.
Presenting his maiden
budget for 2014-15 in the Lok
Sabha, Railway Minister
Sadananda Gowda said he
plans to leverage railway
PSU resources by bringing
in their investible funds in
infrastructure projects.
The pre-budget hike of
14.2 per cent on fares and
6.5 per cent on freight rates
announced on June 19 will
fetch Rs.8,000 crore, he said.
The roll back of proposals on
monthly season tickets would
involve a sacrifice of Rs. 610
crore.
Gifting Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's home state
Gujarat, he announced plans
for introduction of a bullet
train in Mumbai-Ahmedabad sector which will cost
Rs.60,000 crore.
Gowda said the budget
seeks course correction in
the light of mismanagement,
apathy, populism in starting projects and severe fund
crunch that have inflicted the
railways over the years.
In his post-budget briefing, Gowda said the railways
would continue with the Fuel
Adjustment Costs (FAC) formula under which there will
be periodic hike in fares
and freight rates once in six
months.
He said faced with
resource crunch the government proposed to attract private and foreign investment
to tide over the situation.
"We need huge investment
for running bullet train.
There was a ban on FDI in
railways. Now we would
request Commerce Ministry
to delete that clause so that
there can be FDI in infrastructure development," the
minister said adding the Cabinet has to take a call.
Asked at his briefing as to
what is the cap the railways
would like on FDI, Railway
Board Chairman Arunendra
Kumar said "we would like it
to be 100 per cent."
For this, structural
reforms will be introduced
andresources will be mobilised through PSU surplus,
FDI and PPP, he said amidst
shouts from the opposition that "this is a budget of
Ambanis and Adanis".
"How long can I depend
only on hiking fare and
freight rates and burden
the public to realise these
funds?," he told the house
adding, "this is unrealistic.
Thus, I need to explore the
alternate means of resource
mobilisation."
Apart from leveraging
railway PSUs to bring in
investible surplus funds
in infrastructure projects,
Gowda his ministry is seeking Cabinet approval to allow
FDI in rail sector except in
operations.
Adopting the PPP route for
raising resources, he said "it
is our target that bulk of our
future projects will be financed
through PPP mode, including the high-speed rail which
requires huge investments."
