Cabinet Clears Border Villages, Rail Projects

The Union cabinet has approved four railway projects worth ₹18,658 crore and another ₹6,839 crore to develop villages on India's borders with Pakistan and China.

The railway projects approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Friday will expand Indian Railways' network by 1,247 km across 15 districts in Maharashtra, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh.

The completion of these projects will improve connectivity for about 3,350 villages and 4.7 million people, besides providing direct links to areas like Baloda Bazar, a district in Chhattisgarh known for its cement plants.
