Kolhapur rail line secures Rs. 280-cr upgrade

Kolhapur Rail Line
The railway administration had sanctioned Rs.280-cr for the doubling of Pune-Miraj-Londa rail track. The project in question, commanding a length of 47 km, connects Kolhapur with Miraj. The member of Central zonal railway users' consultative committee Shivnath Biyani said, claiming that the railways have been demanding the doubling of Miraj- Kolhapur rail track for the past couple of years. It may be recalled that in the early nineties, there was a plan to double the Pune-Kolhapur track. But it changed over a period of time and Kolhapur was excluded from the original plan. Doubling of rail track is necessary for development of Kolhapur as a double line will improve the connectivity with other states and also benefit the industrial sector, he added.
