Panaji, Dec 8 (TIWN) The Goa Congress unit on Tuesday once again reiterated its demand for scrapping the South Western Railway's (SWR) track doubling project in Goa, saying the railway line largely facilitated coal transportation.

"There are only five passenger trains which operate on the SWR track, the rest of the time only coal trains operate on it," said Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat at a meeting held in Panaji during the 'Bharat Bandh', expressing support for the farmers' agitation demanding scrapping of the three newly-passed Farm laws.  "Most passenger trains operate along the Konkan Railway track in Goa. If that is the case, then why do we need double-tracking of the SWR at all? Scrap these projects. The ruling BJP government in the state should be sensitive to demands of the people," Kamat added.
