The following lines should be given priority in the coming Budget by either allocating funds or through PPP
i)PAP - CCT/COA - KLPH - NS (Proivdes an alternative route to BZA to the already congested route Via SLO, RJY & EE)
ii)KVR - BDCR (By doing so RJY/KVR & BDCR will become big Junctions like SC, WL/KZJ, GTL, BZA, RU & VSKP and also it reduces the distance from RJY/COA/VSKP to SC,NDLS,LTT, SNSI etc)
iii)NDKD

- KHT (Asmentioned by Siva Rama Krishnan it is all weather route through backward areas)
iv) PDPL - KRMR - NZB
v) KYOP - MOB
v) NDL - YA
vi) GNPR - THV(RGDA) : Provides a direct link from NWP - PLH - GNPR - RGDA (Instead of circuitous Via (CHE, CPP, VZM, VBL, RGDA)
vii) Quadrupling and Electrification of BN - SC
viii) Third line from GPT - VSKP

Train # 18301 & Train # 18511 should have RSA and should be clubbed together. 18301 should be extended to VSKP and from VSKP it should proceed to KRPU as 18512 similarly 18511 after reaching VSKP should proceed towards SBP as 18302. But before that Train # 18511 should be made daily and RSA with 18411 should be removed.
