Mr Journalist, UP: A new railway will be laid from Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh. Just recently, under the budget, the new broad gauge railway line had received Rs 342 crore. Under the gauge conversion, 56.15 km railway line worth Rs 342 crore is to be converted from meter gauge to broad gauge.

For this, the Railway Ministry had passed a budget of Rs 342 crore. The first installment of Rs 180 crore was also released to North Eastern Railway in October 2023. The operation of trains will start on this line only after the construction of the broad gauge line.

After construction of broad gauge, the number of trains will also be increased. With this, approximately 85 lakh population of Bahraich and Gonda districts will be benefited.
