Regarding railway line connecting Pandharpur to Shegaon
SHRI OMPRAKASH BHUPALSINH ALIAS PAVAN
RAJENIMBALKAR (OSMANABAD): Honorable Speaker, through
you, I wish to draw the Railway Minister's attention to the matter
concerning the railway connectivity across the three districts of
Solapur, Dharashiv, and Buldhana.
Honorable Speaker, Pandharpur is home to the revered
Vitthal-Rukmini Temple, while Shegaon houses the sacred
pilgrimage site of Sant Gajanan Maharaj. As millions of devotees
visit these two locations annually, it is the collective desire of the
residents of all three districts?as well as the entire community of
devotees across Maharashtra?that a railway line be established
connecting Pandharpur to Shegaon. Such a railway line would be
extensively utilized, given the massive influx of devotees to these
sites.
Honorable Speaker, the citizens of Bhum and Paranda, acting
through the 'Railway Sangharsh Samiti' (Railway Struggle
Committee), have put forth a specific demand for the realization of
this railway project. I, therefore, formally request the Central
Government?through this medium?to conduct a comprehensive
survey for this project and to ensure the timely completion of the
railway line connecting Shegaon to Pandharpur. Thank you.
