Hey there, Pune peeps! Big news coming your way about the railway scene in your city. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the new Talegaon-Uruli railway line is almost ready, thanks to Indian Railways. This new line is meant for freight trains only, and it’s on its way to the Ministry of Railways for approval. Once it’s given the green light, things are expected to get a lot smoother at Pune Railway Station.
Right now, Pune Railway Station is handling a whopping 72 long-distance passenger trains every day, along with 80 freight trains heading to South India. That’s a lot of trains to manage, especially when they’re all sharing the same tracks. This has been causing some chaos at the station, with schedules constantly changing to accommodate all the different trains.
But fear not, because Indian Railways has a plan. They’re working on a new railway line between Talegaon and Uruli, specifically for freight trains. This new route will run through Chakan-Ranjangaon and cover a distance of 70 kilometres. The project is estimated to cost around Rs 7,000 crore, but officials are confident that it will be worth it in the long run.
The DPR for this new railway line is almost ready and will be sent to the Railway Ministry for approval in the next couple of months. Indu Dubey, Pune Divisional Railway Manager, is optimistic about the project, saying that it will help ease the pressure on Pune Railway Station and make things more efficient for both passenger and freight trains.
So, keep an eye out for updates on this exciting development in Pune’s railway system. Who knows, maybe your next train ride will be a lot smoother thanks to this new railway line!
