East Coast Railway recently submitted fresh timelines for completion of works that were to be completed within 2018-19 to the board.
The Bhubaneshwar based zone has been another below average performer after Central and West Central Railway, with only 25% of the work targeted for the financial year 2018-19 commissioned.
ECoR was to commission 331 km of line in FY 2018-19, according to sources. However, it only managed 81.4 km. The zone has been set a stiff target of a total of 534 km of New Line and Doubling works for the year 2019-20. This includes 250 km of spillover targets from the previous year.
The following is the list of pending works expected to be commissioned according to the schedule provided by ECoR.
