Major Projects if cleared will boost Indian Economy to 15% in 10 years

  1. Please implement the trucks being transferred through railways already successfully done by konkan railways details below it is not implemented in full vigor. The existing tracks after last passenger train the trucks must be loaded in one stations and the truck can reach the other end point by morning and the saving in cost and fuel and reduced pollution. The truck after existing the railway station at other end can then directly go to spot of sale. Hence will help save time and also reduce pollution. During available windows in major golden quadrilateral freight corridor routes, major cargo centers the lorry movement with consignment with railways will boost railways. It will be successful and also discuss with major lorry groups, major logistics, major ports for this plan and then go ahead in full steam to implement. Since if all logistics firm avoid railways and use roads since it has facilities will lead to loss to railways in long run. Hence railways freight should gain importance over any scheme.
  2. Article with details: http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2003-05-09/news/27548322_1_freight-container-traffic-railway-plan
  3. Dedicated Golden Quadrilateral freight corridor needs clearance for all routes pending once feasibility done
  4. Please build 600Kmph high speed railway between Delhi and Mumbai as 300kmph is slow compared to current technologies available. Cost is high but in long run it is better and faster travel as 300kmph will become easily available in near future by all countries. that time india cannot boast of high speed rail corridor
  5. Existing golden quadrilateral highways needs expansion of lanes to increase volume of goods and traffic. Currently it is impossible to travel easily for passengers itself so you cant expect the goods to travel easily
  6. The road side facilities of Highways are very poor in global standards. The companies which have taken toll have failed to provide facilities similar to malaysia. The integrated facilities every 50 kms have complete facilities like restaurants, bus and car parking, hotels to take rest, religious places for prayer, water, toilets, bathroom to take bath, etc,. Hospitals. The facilities are needed every 50 kms in golden quadrilateral roads for now and all future projects must include the facilities. The fuelling centre must be also integrated. Mechanics to repair cars, lorries, tow vehicles in case of any vehicle to be towed. Free space to major car companies to have their facilites
  7. All fuel stations along highways must have proper facilities of shopping like food, water, etc,. for refreshing and clothes.

National Highways – NH45 – Southern GST Road from Perungulathur – Chengalpattu too much traffic daily obstructing GDP growth, 4 lanes to 8 lanes to handle too much traffic, flyovers at perungulathur, Vandalur, Guduvanchery junctions up to Chengalpattu to skip flyovers with ease for cars, lorries

Perungulathur is the epi centre of the issues in Southern GST road. If a proper solution is created to prevent repeated traffic jams here as the entire traffic enters and leaves Chennai through this point.
Perungulathur has a big bus depot through which major buses stop and pick passengers and drop them off. But it is done on GST main road leading to traffic and reduces speed of vehicles.
Perungulathur and Vandalur signals need to replaced with flyovers immediately to clear traffic in war footing. The problems have prevented lorries to enter places on time affecting GDP, work going are affected when returning to work, too much diesel is wasted leading to high levels of pollution as thousands of vehicles cross in one hour if entire stretch from Guduvanchery to Perungulathur takes more than 2 and half hours daily for a stretch of 9 kms due to traffic signals and non replaced with flyovers at Guduvanchery, Vandalur, Perungulathur. Anyway toll if being collected so putting flyover will fix the issue for another 10 years.
Widening of road to 8 lanes for travel will help a lot from current 4 lanes. I am aware Govt is planning to widen to 6 lanes but wont be enough. So consider 8 lanes for travel with 2 lanes for service lanes so totally 10 lanes will only solve traffic for another 20 years. A project of national significance for traffic to all southern states and southern TamilNadu. Lorries from south India have to use this road to reach other states also as it is major junction. Till widening is done through land acquisition please fund for flyovers at very important junctions.
Completion of road over bridge at railway stations near Perungulathur, Vandalur, Guduvanchery etc up to chengalpattu for public and goods to travel with ease and preventing traffic bottlenecks to enter and exit Chennai for goods and public as travel with becoming a menace by roadways.
