Chandigarh : The Indian Railways has announced plans to acquire land in Punjab and Haryana for the construction of a new railway line between Delhi and Jammu. This project aims to improve connectivity and reduce travel time between the two major cities. As part of the project, the railways have engaged a Pune-based company to conduct a detailed survey, which has now been successfully completed. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) has submitted its report, paving the way for the next steps in the land acquisition process.
The new railway line is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing trade, tourism, and overall transportation infrastructure between Delhi and Jammu. The project is part of the government’s larger initiative to modernize and expand the national railway network to cater to increasing passenger and freight demand. The acquisition of land in Punjab and Haryana is a significant step toward realizing this vision.
The survey conducted by the Pune company involved assessing the terrain, identifying land acquisition zones, and determining the feasibility of the project, all of which were included in the report submitted to the FSL. The FSL’s findings have now cleared the way for officials to initiate land acquisition procedures and begin the groundwork for the railway line’s construction.
Local governments in both Punjab and Haryana are preparing for the acquisition process, which will involve compensation to affected landowners and measures to minimize disruptions to communities. This step is expected to lead to improved connectivity and economic development in the region, benefiting both local populations and industries.
The new railway line project has been met with both enthusiasm and concerns from residents, with many hopeful for the development but also awaiting further details on compensation and relocation procedures. The completion of the project is expected to be a key milestone in enhancing the transportation network in northern India.
