CHIDAMBARAM VISITS CROSSRAIL PROJECT

Finance Minister P Chidambaram today donned a hard hat as he visited a construction site of the new Crossrail project in east London along with his British counterpart George Osborne. Wearing a orange colour construction worker suit, Chidambaram was shown around the site by Osborne. Crossrail is a new railway across London linking Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west with Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. The Crossrail would provide direct services between Canary Wharf, the City, the West End and Heathrow Airport.
