Another this that is to be welcomed is that he is going to provide more accommodation and more seats of the second class
passenger by gradually withdrawing the first class AC Coaches and the first class coaches. I hope while withdrawing these facilities and
extending of the second class passenger, the existing comforts and facilities and extending them to the second class would further
improve. I hope in all second class cartages, cushion, seats are going to be provided. Socialism is not leveling point but socialism is leveling
up. When we withdraw the facilities from the higher level the facilities for the lower level should be improved so that the travelling comfort
for the lower level improved. Another innovative ideas Sri George Fernandis has without of most the constrained of resource is advancing
the West Costs railway line which is popular line Konkan Line. This railway line was initiated when professor Bandavan would the Railway
Minister about 12 years ago. Once that government went out of power this scheme got to be into cold storage. Of course in the last year,
budget, therefore lapse Rie, Sindhya made some provision for construction of the line from Mangalore to Udipi but the construction work
did not start but Sri George Fernandis have come out that the novel ideas many I know out of his Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka by raising
certain contributions from these three states by raising certain contributions from the public certain contributions from the railways as
well as from the General Exchequer. If this scheme have not thought up have taken up in the normal courses and under the normal
procedure this railway would have taken 15 years to complete. Now that a new method of financing of this has been initiated the railways
has permits that construction of this railway line is going to be completed within 5 years. I means that this scheme not that it succeed for
the sake of the concur railway but it would be new area for taking up where those projects could not be taken up because of shortage of
funds. I hope the railway minister who is a person of many ideas many innovative ideas would also think in terms of his financing scheme.
Every year cost go up any project that is done today is cheaper then it would be tomorrow. He in his status paper has asked whether money
should go from the Central Government or whether it should go from the railway finance corporation or from market borrowers where it is
going to costs little more in any case. I personally feel that these projects important projects should not lack behind on the ground of funds
in coming from the Central Government or State Government even if it is costly the money should be borrowed from the railway finance
corporation.
