Gauge conversion of this route is absolutely needed...Rather is it delayed by about 20 yrs...
Population of about 20 Lakh is dependent on this route..They need railway. Local needs are rather more important than cities being connected.....
Second this route would ease coal transport from mines at Chandrapur and Umred. SECR is transporting coal with massively longer route when they could do via...
more... this NAB-NGP if it was BG.
And for your kind information there are no elephant deaths reported here...Yes elephants have come back in this regions after 300 yrs ...But only one death in last 200 years and that too due to electrocution..Not due to railway...
please wait...Translate to EnglishWe really need to convert this route, it's been delayed for like 20 years. About 2 million people depend on this route and they need a damn railway. Local needs should be a priority, not just connecting cities.
Plus, this route would make it easier to transport coal from the mines in Chandrapur and Umred. The SECR is taking a much longer route to transport coal when they could just use this NAB-NGP if it was in broad gauge.
And just to let you know, there haven't been any elephant deaths reported here. Yeah, elephants have come back to this area after 300 years, but there's only been one death in the last 200 years and that was because of electrocution, not because of the damn railway.
