Deoband-Roorkee new rail line project gets approval from CRS, speed trial was successful, Dhami expressed gratitude to the Center

The 29.55 km length of the Deoband-Roorkee new railway line project has received the approval of the Railway Safety Commissioner (CRS). A successful speed trial was recently conducted on this section at a speed of 122 kmph. With the commissioning of this new line, the railway distance between Delhi and Dehradun will be reduced by about 40 km, which will significantly reduce the travel time.

On this important achievement, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav ji. The Chief Minister said that this project will open new avenues of development for the people of Uttarakhand and will give new heights to tourism, employment and business in the region.

The Chief Minister said, “Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there is unprecedented development in the infrastructure of the country. Strengthening the railway network in Uttarakhand has been our priority, and the Deoband-Roorkee rail line is a historic step in that direction. I also specially thank Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav ji, under whose guidance this project is progressing rapidly.”
