Despite Rs 23 cr spend, Western Railway, Central Railway still struggling with monsoon blues
Year after year crores are spent on cleaning nullahs and culverts along railway tracks but this money is literally going down the drain. Since 2009-2010, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has given around Rs 23 crore to the Central and Western Railways.
The CR had asked for Rs 5.67 crore, of which they have received Rs 2.79 crore so far, and Rs 92 lakhs has been given to WR, who had demanded Rs 1.56 crore. Image source: Inhouse
