The Free Press Journal|November 26, 2024
The cabinet committee on economic affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved three railway projects on Monday with a total cost of ₹7,927 crore.

The projects are the Jalgaon-Manmad fourth line (160 km), Bhusawal-Khandwa third and fourth lines (131 km), and Prayagraj (Iradatganj)-Manikpur third line (84 km).

"The proposed multi-tracking projects will ease operations and reduce congestion, providing the much-required infrastructural development on the busiest sections between Mumbai and Prayagraj," a statement said.

"The projects are in line with PM Narendra Modi's vision of a New India, which will make people of the region 'Atmanirbhar' by way of comprehensive development in the area, which will enhance their employment/self-employment opportunities," it said.
