India has submitted the final detailed project report (DPR) for the cross-border railway line between India and Nepal Rail Analysis India reports. According to the proposal, the line would be 18.5 km long starting from Rupaidiya Railway Station in India to Kohalpur in Nepal.
According to a ET report, the Nepal government is set to begin the land acquisition process, now that they have received the DPR from India.
The line would cover Jayaspur, Indrapur, Guruwa Gaun, Hawaldalpur and Rajhena. According to the DPR, the railway line will run parallel and between the East-West highway and the Postal Highway, for which India had aided the Nepal government for construction in 2016.
“Constructing the railway above the East-West Highway means clearing a huge swathe of national parks to make way for laying the railway track. So the project report has been devised in such a way that the sanctuaries are safe,” a source close to the development said. The line will be constructed 2-3 kms from the East-West Highway.
