Railway Projects in Telangana Hindered by BRS: Kishan

06 Sep 2023 CW Team

Railway expansion and modernisation projects in Telangana face significant delays due to the hurdles created by the Bilateral Railway System (BRS), as highlighted by Kishan, a prominent voice in the state's infrastructure sector. The BRS, aimed at streamlining rail connectivity across regions, has inadvertently become a roadblock for Telangana's railway development plans.

Kishan's concerns stem from the complex bureaucratic processes associated with the BRS, which have led to project approvals dragging on for extended periods. This has not only resulted in a backlog of proposed railway ventures but has also impeded the region's economic growth prospects.

The impact of these delays is felt across various sectors, including trade, agriculture, and transportation, as improved railway connectivity is crucial for efficient movement of goods and people. Kishan calls for a reevaluation of the BRS's implementation in Telangana to expedite project execution and ensure the state can fully leverage its potential for growth and development.

The railway projects in Telangana are integral to the state's progress, and addressing the BRS-related obstacles is imperative to unlock the region's economic potential and enhance connectivity.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots. This change is expected to streamline approvals, reduce procedural delays and accelerate redevelopment, drawing reactions from developers, planners and industry experts about its implications for Mumbai’s vertical growth.Under the revised DCPR 2034 rules, buildings on plots of 2,000 sq m or more can now be approved up to 180 m by the municipal commissioner, provided structural and geotechnical reports are certified b..
