PMK Urges Railway Minister to Accelerate 19 Pending Tamil Nadu Projects
PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss has urged Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to expedite 19 pending railway projects in Tamil Nadu, highlighting delays despite a 7,611 crore allocation for 2026-27. He noted that only 8,811 crore of the 27,282 crore estimated budget has been spent, with minimal progress on new lines due to funding gaps and land acquisition delays. Ramadoss proposed forming a special committee for better coordination and monthly progress reports to accelerate project completion and enhance connectivity to tier-II cities.
