Bhopal, 29 May (H.S.) : Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that the double engine government is working with full determination to speed up the development of rail facilities and expansion of rail network in Madhya Pradesh. Currently, the country is going through its golden period. Prime Minister Narendra Modi believes that there is no better means of transport than rail in the country. Hence, the Central Government is expanding different railway tracks in the state while modernizing the railway stations. In this sequence, the Union Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the railway multitracking project between Ratlam to Nagda yesterday, which is a big achievement for Madhya Pradesh. This will not only increase rail connectivity in the Malwa region but will also benefit the economy.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was virtually addressing the press conference of Railway Minister Vaishnav from Panna on Thursday regarding the approval of rail projects. On this occasion, he thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav for the new rail project.
Ratlam-Nagda project will save 7.5 crore liters of diesel per year
Railway Minister Vaishnav said that laying the third and fourth railway lines between Ratlam and Nagda will save 7.5 crore liters of diesel per year. The Ratlam-Nagda multitracking project will also benefit the environment. This will prevent the emission of 38 crore kilograms of carbon dioxide. In terms of carbon emissions, this is a project equivalent to planting 1.5 crore trees. MP Anil Ferozia, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Minister Chaitanya Kashyap, Senior MP Vishnu Dutt Sharma and other public representatives were present in the virtual program.
Madhya Pradesh will get the gift of three new trains
Railway Minister Vaishnav said that Madhya Pradesh is also going to get the gift of three new trains soon. These include the first train Rewa-Satna-Jabalpur-Pune, the second train Jabalpur to Raipur via Nainpur-Gondia and the third train Gwalior-Bhopal-Pune-Bengaluru. Two months ago, a new train service has been started from New Delhi to Dr. Ambedkar Nagar (Mhow).
Rail facilities will be developed on the lines of Prayagraj for Simhastha
In the press conference, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that a large number of rail users will benefit from the new rail projects started by the Railway Ministry in the state. It is necessary to increase rail connectivity to the world heritage site Khajuraho and to prepare small underpasses in view of Simhastha-2028. Railway Minister Vaishnav assured Chief Minister Dr. Yadav that for the grand organization of Simhastha, development work will be done on rail facilities up to Ujjain on the lines of Prayagraj.
About twenty lakh citizens of two provinces will be benefited
It is noteworthy that the Union Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Modi, approved two multitracking projects for Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra on Wednesday. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 3,399 crore. Under these multitracking projects, the work of laying the third and fourth lines will be done between Ratlam and Nagda. At the same time, the fourth railway line will be laid from Wardha to Balharshah in Maharashtra. On completion of these two multitracking projects, the Indian railway network will expand by about 176 kilometers. Railway connectivity will reach 19.74 lakh citizens residing in about 784 villages. This will benefit the passengers with smooth and uninterrupted travel. Along with this, the transportation of goods will also get a boost.
