Chandigarh Railway Station Redevelopment Delayed, Timeline Unclear
Imagine a railway station that's supposed to be made better, but it's taking a long time.
The government said they can't say exactly when it will be done.
A member of Parliament named Manish Tewari asked about the project, but the government didn't give a clear answer.
Tewari is not happy because he wants the railway station to be fixed quickly.
The government has set aside money for this work, but there's no specific plan on when it will be completed.
Chandigarh Railway Station redevelopment under the Amrit Bharat Station (ABS) Scheme faces delays.
The Ministry of Railways admitted in Parliament no fixed timeline can be provided.
MP Manish Tewari raised questions about the project's progress.
Tewari expressed disappointment at the lack of accountability and a clear timeline.
Northern Railway allocated Rs 2,216 crore for customer amenities in 2025-26.

The Ministry of Railways response avoids accountability and does not offer any solution to the persistent parking mess. The reply betrays the total inefficiency of the Railway Ministry.
