We have heard the Angrej had a plan for railway track from Takankpur to Bageshwar. Now it is has been more than six decades and there is no move in this proposal.

Let us see now.

Good to hear this news..

Still there are many complications to get final approval.

खुशखबरी: पहाड़ चढ़ेगी रेल
पूर्वोत्तर रेलवे के महाप्रबंधक केबीएल मित्तल ने बताया कि रेल बजट में घोषित टनकपुर-बागेश्वर रेल लाइन का अक्टूबर 2010 में सर्वे किया गया था। करीब 254 किमी के इस रूट को तैयार करने का 2800 करोड़ रुपए और रामनगर-चौखुटिया के बीच 86 किमी की रेल लाइन का 1378 करोड़ यानी दोनों योजनाओं पर कुल करीब 42 सौ करोड़ का प्रस्ताव अगस्त 2011 में रेलवे बोर्ड को भेजा जा चुका है। दोनों योजनाओं की टेक्निकल फिजिबिलिटी एवं ट्रेफिक सर्वे रिपोर्ट पर रेलवे बोर्ड व मंत्रालय को निर्णय लेना है। यदि योजनाओं को मंजूरी और बजट आवंटन हो जाता है तो रेलवे इस पर काम शुरू करेगा। कहा कि यात्री आय के लिहाज से यह दोनों योजनाएं मुनाफा देने वाली नहीं हैं, लेकिन उत्तराखंड के सामरिक दृष्टिकोण के साथ रेलवे की सामाजिक प्रतिबद्धता के लिहाज से रेल लाइन पहाड़ तक पहुंचाना भी जरूरी है। बताया कि इसके अलावा काठगोदाम-नैनीताल रेल लाइन का भी बोर्ड ने दोबारा सर्वे का आदेश दिया है। जल्द ही इस रूट का सर्वे कराया जाएगा। बरेली-लालकुआं के बाद लालकुआं-कासगंज रूट का आमान परिवर्तन मार्च 2013 के बाद शुरू किया जाएगा।
