Gauge Conversion of Defence siding
New Delhi: August 14, 2003

As per the policy, the gauge conversion of Jodhpur-Jaisalmer metre gauge section was to be done on assisted siding terms. Defence Authorities were approached in June 1995 for conveying their sanction for the Defence share on conversion of sidings. This was constantly pursued with Defence Authorities and the sanction from the Ministry of Defence has been received only in February 2002. Meanwhile, the issue was also taken up by the Audit.

Defence Authorities have informed that the payment will be made during the year 2003-2004. After payment of the Defence share, there will be no loss to the Railway except that the payment got delayed.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Bandaru Dattatraya in a written reply to a question from Col. (Retd.) Sona Ram Choudhary in the Lok Sabha today.
