Railway ministry gives nod for final location survey of Nashik-Dahanu new line
The Indian Railway Ministry has approved the final location survey for a new 100-kilometer rail line connecting Nashik and Dahanu, enhancing travel efficiency and boosting tourism.
The railway ministry has sanctioned the final location survey for the Nashik-Dahanu new line via Trimbakeshwar and Vangaon, an official said on Friday. The 100-kilometer line will connect Nashik and Dahanu in Palghar districts and will reduce the travel time considerably between the two important places, a Central Railway spokesperson said.
"Currently, to reach Dahanu from Nashik trains travel via Kalyan-Bhiwandi-Vasai on the south side of Dhule-Nandurbar-Surat via the north side. The new link is expected to reduce travel time and distance between the two cities. It will boost tourism and provide rail transportation to devotees desirous of visiting Trimbakeshwar temple for darshan of one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and to Panchavati (where Lord Ram stayed during the exile) in Nashik," a Central Railway release stated.
The new line will also provide connectivity from the Deccan plateau to Vadhvan port in Dahanu, the foundation stone of which was laid during the day by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, officials said. "This line will connect multiple towns of Nashik and Palghar districts, thereby, fostering economic growth and development in the region, For the final location survey of the new railway line the ministry has sanctioned Rs.2.50 crore," the spokesperson said.
