CM Stalin Writes to PM Modi Seeking Timely Release of Funds for Land Acquisition for Railway Projects in Tamil Nadu
CM Stalin requests full and priority funding to resolve land acquisition delays affecting 19 major railway projects covering 2,500 hectares, with 94% already acquired, officials said.
- On Sunday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging the Ministry of Railways to release funds for sanctioned projects preferably in full and on a priority basis to facilitate land acquisition.
- Administrative records show 2,500.61.06 hectares have been sanctioned for land acquisition, but Railways have not sanctioned funds for 931.52.96 hectares, while 1198.02.34 hectares of a 1273.05.15-hectare balance are complete.
- The letter highlights pending works such as Thoothukudi–Madurai and Tindivanam–Tiruvannamalai BGL projects, and mentions that the Railways have not allocated ₹289.78 crore for settling compensation, Stalin said.
- Delays in fund release have disrupted projects and caused prolonged uncertainty for affected landowners, while the State government monitoring mechanism holds monthly coordination meetings led by the Chief Secretary and Transport Secretary to resolve bottlenecks.
- Amid election season, the DMK-led government accuses the Centre of withholding funds as M.K. Stalin urged sanctioning projects commensurate with Tamil Nadu's economy and noted monitoring via the PMG portal.
