Expedite work of Sahjanwa–Dohrighat rail line project: DC
Gorakhpur: Divisional commissioner Anil Dhingra on Friday reviewed the progress of the Sahjanwa–Dohrighat new rail line project. In a meeting with officials of the North Eastern Railway (NER), the Commissioner discussed in detail the challenges being faced in implementing the project.
Expressing displeasure over delays in land acquisition in villages under Sahjanwa, Bansgaon and Gola tehsils, he directed the concerned SDMs to coordinate with railway officials at the earliest, obtain village-wise land records for their respective areas, and expedite the acquisition process. He also instructed them to submit a progress report within a fortnight.
The railway officials were further asked to provide a list of villages falling within the Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA) area that are covered under the project.
Officials said the project will boost the region's development and open up a new route from Gorakhpur to Varanasi and Prayagraj. Once completed, it is expected to create fresh employment opportunities for residents, entrepreneurs and farmers.
