Trains to remote areas will soon gain steam
21-Feb-2017

As progress in laying new railway lines in hilly, remoter and hitherto unconnected habitations gets more focus, the central government is mulling a separate scheme or programme for giving impetus to this, on the lines of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY).NITI Aayog, say officials, is expected to suggest separating the task of laying rail tracks and connecting remote habitations through the rail network as an entirely different programme, outside the current allocations. This is to give added focus and to ensure completion of such projects, many languishing for years.
