Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced plans to alleviate congestion in Chhattisgarh by expanding key routes to four lanes, aiming to boost freight and passenger movement.
Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Minister of Railways, announced at a press briefing that the Ministry will target congestion in Chhattisgarh by expanding certain railway corridors to four lanes. The initiative is part of a broader effort to improve freight and passenger services across the country. Chhattisgarh’s rail network has long been a bottleneck due to high traffic, especially freight, and the four-laning projects are expected to increase capacity and reduce delays. The Ministry will coordinate with state authorities and private partners to implement the projects, with a detailed timeline to be released later.
