BJP MP from Hamirpur, Anurag Thakur has urged Railway Minister Piyush Goyal to expedite the railway projects in Hamirpur Parliamentary Constituency.
Thakur, who met the minister in New Delhi said, "I requested him to inaugurate or lay foundation stones of railway projects in my constituency in the wider public interest."
"The proposed projects included Amb-Andaura to Daulatpur Chowk (16 kms) and Una-Hamirpur Railway Line (50 Kms)," he said in a release issued here today.
Thakur said that in addition to this, the Defence Ministry has declared four railway lines of National Strategic Importance including Bhanupali-Bilaspur-Beri-Manali-Leh broad gauge line.
During the year 2013-14, the then Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal had announced that a railway station will be established at Basal in Una district but the announcement never saw the light of the day, he said and requested the minister to provide sufficient funds for the these projects.
