THE NEED FOR NEW PUNE NASIK RAILWAY LINE:-
The Latest episode of boulder falling between the tracks and subsequent cancellation / diversion / short termination /bunching of trains has once again exposed the laxity of IR in laying of railway line between PUNE & NASIK
The...
more... only other option for the trains to cross this affected area is via WR or via PUNE -DD- MMR route either of which delays the trains by minimum of 8 to 10 hours.
IR has long since envisioned and even announced in Railway Budget that new line between Nasik & Pune would be laid. But where?
The benefit would not only limited to reduction in travel time to half between these cities but act as a major bypass line in case of emergencies in either of the routes.
FACTS:-
PUNE NASIK Rly Line: - Expected to be around 200 kms
Present By pass via DD - MMR :- 385 kms
Your comments are awaited.
Hit AGREE if you think that this line construction needs to be completed in top priority.
