An agreement in principle to introduce a Tejas Express train between Delhi-Haridwar-Dehradun has been given on a request by the state's Chief Minister (CM) Trivendra SIngh Rawat to Union Minister for Railways Piyush Goyal.
The two leaders had also held a meeting over the matter in Delhi following which Goyal announced that the project would be implemented as soon as the pathway is available. He went on to assure that there will be no budgetary shortage for railway projects in the State.
During their meeting, CM Rawat also requested Goyal for a go ahead for the Lalkuan-Khatima, Tanakpur-Bageshwar and Kashipur-Dhampur railway line projects as the State gears up to host in Haridwar city the 2021 Kumbh.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
