What’s inside:
This article discusses the renewed demand to restart the railway project from SultanGanj to Deoghar via Amarapur in Bihar.
Amarapur in Banka district is buzzing with talks about the revival of the railway project from SultanGanj to Deoghar via Amarapur. This conversation has picked up speed now that the NDA government is back in Bihar.
The project, which was approved during the tenure of former MP Digvijay Singh, has been lying inactive for quite some time. Initially, it got the green light in 2002, with plans to complete it by 2007, but things changed after Singh’s passing and the government shift.
If this railway project is completed, it would bring significant benefits to the local communities, offering more job opportunities for the youth. The railway line is expected to stretch about 59 kilometers, enhancing connectivity in the region.
Digvijay Singh had laid the foundation stone in Deoghar, and the railway department had even allocated funds for land surveys and payments to the district administrations. The completion of this project could lead to major development for both Amarapur and Banka.
Now, with Singh’s daughter serving as a minister in the Bihar government, there is renewed hope among residents. Local leaders are planning to meet with Minister Shreyasi Singh to push for the revival of this important project.
Summary:
- Renewed demand for the railway project in Bihar.
- The project was approved in 2002 but stalled later.
- It could create job opportunities for local youth.
- 59 kilometers of railway line planned for better connectivity.
