The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has asked the Ministry of Transport for capital in order to repair and upgrade several deteriorating railway barriers.
The North-South railway section in the city measures 14 kilometers in length, and barriers on some segments have degraded, the municipal administration stated in a statement on the management of infrastructure along the railway segment sent to the Ministry of Transport.
The city had earlier suggested that Vietnam Railways mend these barriers to ensure safety.
However, Vietnam Railways said the budget for railway barrier repair is tight, so the firm has asked the city to fund the job.
As a result, the city proposed the Ministry of Transport allocate capital to Vietnam Railways so that it can service deteriorating railway barriers and maintain and fix railway infrastructure to ensure safety, security, and the esthetic of the cityscape.
In 2020, the southern metropolis asked Vietnam Railways to cooperate with municipal departments and agencies to establish dossiers on the management of land for railways in line with the law.
However, the company has yet to do the job.
Therefore, the city urged the Ministry of Transport to require Vietnam Railways to fulfill its duty to facilitate the handling of procedures on the approval of essential projects along railways.
