Proposed Railway station at Neura

 

“Attention of the House is drawn as regards to the house that there is increasing fear, and anxiety in the minds of the villagers of Neura and surrounding villages of Agassaim and Dongrim in regards to the newly proposed railway station at Neura, as the proposed site falls in the khazan land area and developing the railway station will have major environmental implications as extensive landfilling in cultivable land will lead to ecological and environmental destruction. Also, the existing Karmali railway station barely 6Km away caters to the needs of locals in nearby villages. I ask from the Concerned Minister to clarify on the same to address this increasing fear among the people.
