Gujarat government has reiterated the long-pending demand of shifting of the headquarters of Western Railway from Mumbai to Ahmedabad.
Chief minister Narendra Modi, at his recent meeting with the state's MPs to discuss various developmental issues of the state pending with the Union government, specially requested them to help expedite the various rail projects which are crucial for the faster development of Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) and Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor's Gujarat area.
He also sought their help for shifting of the Western Railway's headquarters to Gujarat and development of the Sabarmati railway station.
The state government has also submitted a document about the railway issues of Gujarat pending with the Centre. It says, "With a major chunk of the DMIC passing through Gujarat, there is need for construction, upgradation and doubling of the spurs connecting the DFC with ports and industries of Gujarat."
The state government has reiterated the long-pending demand of shifting of the headquarters of Western Railway from Mumbai to Ahmedabad.
In a charter of demands submitted to the railway ministry recently, the state government says, "Gujarat has frequently demanded shifting of the headquarters of Western Railway from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, but this has not been accepted yet. It is necessary that the headquarters of any organisation should be located at a central place within its jurisdiction so that it can be easily reached from any part. The shifting of the headquarters from Mumbai to Ahmedabad will achieve this objective and also reduce congestion in Mumbai.''
The state government has also repeated its demand for the development of Sabarmati railway station.
