JOHOR BARU: Issues related to the coordination of infrastructure that were supposed to be built, and relocation of residents have caused a delay in the Electrified double-tracking project of the railway line between Gemas and Johor Baru. Hasni said other issues also cropped up involving some residents who were supposed to be relocated in the land acquisition exercise for the railway line expansion. Hasni told the New Straits Times the project was still on, and that construction work start within the next month. Citing an example, he said there would be improved designs for underpasses, as well as overhead bridges, dotting the doubtracking railway line in Kluang and Johor Baru. “There was a delay, which was supposed to have taken about two to three months to be resolved, but these dragged on to six months.
