Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Lok Sabha MP from Bhopal Alok Sharma stressed on chalking out a plan for Railway line survey for the Berasia Vidhan Sabha constituency, which is spread in an area of 45 square kilometers. Survey has to be done for Berasia Railway line via Guna-Ashok Nagar, demanded Sharma during a meeting of MPs of Bhopal Railway division with the Railway officials here on Friday.
“Railway officials should come up with a detailed plan for the survey Railway line in Berasia. Whether the matter concerns the Western–Central Railway (WCR) or the Railway Board, it needs to be finalized,” the Lok Sabha member said.
Dewas MP Mahendra Singh Solanki chaired the meeting in which WCR General Manager Shobhna Bandopadyaya was also present. Sharma further said that he had raised the critical issue in the Parliament. “During the Budget Session, I brought this matter to attention during the Zero Hour as Berasia is part of Bhopal Parliamentary constituency. “My objective is to expedite the rail line survey and enable the people of Berasia to benefit from rail services at the earliest.
