Minister Elvan examined the YHT line tunnels in Bilecik: The Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications, Lütfi Elvan, made examinations in the ongoing High Speed ​​Train (YHT) line tunnels in Bilecik. Minister Elvan said: “If we have a friend who personally made a mistake, of course they will account for him before the judiciary. But we must always keep our institutions upright ”.
Minister Lütfi Elvan examined the construction of the 2-meter high YHT line tunnel near Bilecik. Minister Elvan, who received information from the contractor company officials at the construction site of the YHT line in the Osmaneli district, then made a statement to the press members. Minister Elvan said: “We have received information about the work of the contractor companies. When can they finish things, what are the disruptive aspects, how can we fix these problems? We talked among them. We exchanged information with our TCDD General Manager, Undersecretary, Governor and all relevant friends. Of course, we are trying to put the Eskişehir-Istanbul high speed train to the service of our people as soon as possible. We are here for this purpose. We are trying to speed up the process. In this framework, both our ministry, railways and contractor companies work day and night. It is not possible for us to give an exact date regarding the completion of the study. Test drives continue in many sections. Apart from that, electrification and signalization studies continue. There are places that are troubled due to landslide. Problems in that direction need to be resolved. We have no troubles. But our friends are working fast. ”
When Lütfi Elvan asked a journalist to investigate whether investigations would disrupt the work of the YHT, “If there is any person who is corrupt and is indeed damaging the state in this regard, even if it is a penny of the state, they will of course give the necessary account before the court. But never, in any way, when we look at the development for a week, it is extremely wrong to attempt to wear our institution down. Our state railways brought our high-speed train, which was a dream for all, to the citizens and our country. So if we have a personally wrong friend, of course they will give his account before the judiciary. But we should always keep our institutions upright. ”
