We, citizens of Aurangabad also pushing for this line. Similar reply was sent to us by CR in past.
However, upon seeing unnecessary delay created by CR in this project (transport lobby), we requested former CM Mr. Fadanvis for the approval of this line. He agreed and issued letter to Rly ministry that state govt will share 50% cost of project.
With this letter, we approached MRIDC to resurvey the line and submit the DPR for the same. Accordingly, MRIDC did complete survey and prepared the DPR and put it for the approval...
more... to state govt few months back.
So, approval is now pending from state govt side, as soon as it is given MRIDC will start the work with node from railway board.
If you have contacts, please approach secretary of Transport ministry for approval of this line.
