In the proposed 760-kilometres-long high-speed rail corridor to be developed between Varanasi and Kolkata, the Government looks to turn Bihar's capital city of Patna also as one of the stations, reports Economic Times.
The recent tender document prepared by the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) for the conduction of surveys of four such proposed high-speed rail corridors included the mention of "Varanasi-Patna-Howrah" corridor.
Meanwhile, the other such corridors which have taken up by NHSRCL include 711-kilometres-long Mumbai-Hyderabad corridor passing via Pune, and 435-kilometres-long Chennai-Mysore corridor passing via Bengaluru.
