Some sections of the media have reported that Southern Railway has proposed to surrender funds for certain Railway Projects in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
A routine official correspondence made by Southern Railway to the Railway Board that the funds allotted for certain projects which are not going to be utilised within current quarter, will be sought to be utilised in subsequent quarters, has been misinterpreted wrongly by certain sections of the media due to ignorance.
In this regard, it is further clarified that Ministry of Railways has decided and Communicated that no change is being made in the funds allotted to projects of Southern Railway in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in the current financial year 2025-26 for various Railway works and that Southern Railway should carry out the planning and execution of various projects in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in accordance with the original budget allocation/ funds made for respective projects by the Ministry for the financial year 2025-26.
It is reiterated that Southern Railway is committed to execute all its sanctioned projects in its jurisdiction.
