Building a small stretch of single line will hardly take 10-12 months if the highly corrupt govt officials work with dedication. Let me tell you that the line of hardly 100 kms between Apta and Roha took more time than building 738 kms of line over difficult territory ! Reason? The Roha line was built by IR and the KR line was built by KR itself without any "red tapism" !! The reason usually given by officials is lack of funds. But I am surprised to see more than 1 lakh crores being allotted to Kashmir railway which does not have good Return of Investment !
