During this session, the solutions necessary to overcome the obstacles encountered were proposed. It was also decided to immediately launch all the components of the rehabilitation project of the rail line n ° 6 between Tunis and Kasserine, as well as the first tranche of the doubling project of line n ° 22 between Moknine and the station of Sidi Massoud, over a distance of 22 km.
In addition, the necessary legal measures will be taken to remove the damage and overruns noted on the layout of the railways, with a view to fully freeing their land grip, in coordination with all the structures concerned.
The government’s chef insisted on the need for all state structures to effectively coordinate their efforts in order to overcome difficulties, with daily follow -up in the field to solve problems in real time, while holding those who hinder those who hinder the progress of public projects, thus depriving citizens of their use within the expected deadlines.
