A RAIL link that would enable direct trains from Mumbai Central to the Konkan Railway stretch, known as the Vasai bypass, and a chord line between Naigaon and Juchandra, have been categorised as one of the important works on the Western Railway (WR) in this year’s interim budget document, with funds allocated.
“A sum of Rs 50 lakh has been allotted to this ‘chord’ line. The crucial link between Naigaon and Juchandra will be of immense help to commuters and outstation passenger traffic. Its survey has been completed, and it will boost traffic movement,” an official said.
