Rlys approves final survey for Neemuch-Banswara-Dahod line
Indore: The ministry of railways approved the preparation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the final survey of the 380-kilometre-long Neemuch-Banswara-Dahod-Nandurbar new rail line. "This is a significant move aimed at fostering the economic and social development of the tribal-dominated regions," Ratlam railway division PRO Khemraj Meena said. "This project is set to create a new, vital route connecting Delhi to Mumbai," Meena added. According to railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the tribal-dominated Banswara naturally connects with Dahod. Therefore, a decision was made to prepare the DPR for the Neemuch-Banswara-Dahod rail line alongside the Dungarpur-Banswara-Ratlam project, Meena said. He added that this line will provide a new route for trains travelling from Delhi to Mumbai, passing through the tribal-dominated Banswara region. This will be the shortest route connecting the Tapti section to the Mumbai-Delhi main route via Dahod. The new rail line is expected to benefit six cities across Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. The city of Shahada, with a population exceeding 50,000, may also be included in the survey for this route. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ask A Pro: "I'm 70 with $1.4M in IRAs.

SmartAsset Undo Meena further explained that Rajasthan's Banswara district, a hilly region rich in mineral resources, currently lacks connectivity to the Indian Railways network. The area is abundant in minerals, presenting a strong potential for freight transportation, which can be facilitated by the shorter Neemuch-Banswara-Dahod route. Dahod-Alirajpur-Nandurbar section is located in a hilly and tribal area. This will be a shorter route connecting the Tapti rail section to the high-density Mumbai-New Delhi main line at Dahod. This route is also expected to uplift communities deprived of mainstream development, connecting them to the rest of the country via rail. Furthermore, this new rail line will boost tourism in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat, while also creating local employment opportunities, he said.

Months after Maha Kumbh, 2 elderly men reunited with kin
Prayagraj: After a gap of more than three months following the culmination of Maha Kumbh volunteers of the Lost & Found camp, popularly known as 'Bhoole Bhatke Shivir', managed to reunite two elderly men with their families. On Sunday, Nar Singh Murti, aged 68, who went missing from mela campus on Feb 28, was reunited with his family in the village of Nagli in Chikmagalur district of Karnataka on Sunday. Family members of Murti said that some volunteers spotted him while roaming in Mumbai and talked to him in Kanaada language. When Murti revealed his village name, the volunteers took him to his native town and handed over to the family.
