Aparupa Poddar raised during Zero Hour the need for a halt station in Bolandi to service the people of the numerous villages in Arambagh and Khanakul blocks
Thank you Chairperson, Sir for allowing me to speak in Zero Hour. Sir today I will raise an apparently small issue but the issue is very significant for my constituency. I have been fighting for this since the 16th Lok Sabha. When our Chief Minister was the Railway
Minister, at that time along with Arambagh Bishnupur railways, it was also included in the survey – Bolondy Halt Station. The distance from Mayapur station to Arambagh station is 15 kms and there are 50 villages situated in between. However, even after raising this demand several times from 2014 to date, this station has not been operationalised. This is my humble request that it should be built urgently because the place Mayapur is frequented by not only people of Arambagh but also by people of Khanakul Blocks 1 and 2. Many people visit the place regularly. Therefore for their convenience and for celebrating the 250th birth anniversary of Raja Rammohan Roy, I demand that this bolondi Halt station may be built. The people of Khanakul would be highly benefitted if it happens. I am requesting the Railway Ministry again that it involves a very small amount but will be of use to the common people of the area. Thank you.
