The dream of building a railway line from Rajpura to Chandigarh in Punjab will soon turn into reality. It will be a 24 km long track. The central government has approved this project and a budget of Rs 202.99 crore has been provisioned for it. Union Railway Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu has confirmed this.
He said that his effort is to complete this project in two years. With the completion of this project, the entire Malwa will be connected to its capital through railways. He said that earlier the Center and the state used to give money together, but now all the responsibility of this project will be of the central government.
During this time the work of the railway junction will start. He said that two lines, Firozpur to Patti line and track to Talwandi Sabo will be built. Work worth Rs 700 crore is going on in the whole of Punjab. He said that it has been seven months since he was made so far. Along with Ludhiana, the Amritsar project will also be completed.
Farmers will get full compensation
The Union Minister said that he himself belongs to the Malwa region. He told that earlier mafia used to create hurdles in the expansion of railway. They did not want it to expand. But now they are working in this direction. He has appealed to all the political parties of Punjab for cooperation. Bittu said that whatever land the farmers demand, it will be given to them. He said that the central government is very serious about this rail network.
This railway track will pass from here
According to the information, this rail line will be laid from village Nalas near Rajpura to village Saneta on Chandigarh-Ludhiana line near Mohali, so that by connecting Rajpura Chandigarh rail link, the people of Malwa, the largest region of Punjab, can be provided cheap travel to Chandigarh.
Another 5 km long line has been approved from Rajpura, so that there is no need to change the engine of the train while going to Chandigarh and the people traveling do not waste much time. The industry being established in Rajpura will get the most benefit from the construction of this line. Apart from this, the youth will be able to go to their areas easily after working or studying in Chandigarh or Tricity.
