IN a move to facilitate the Char Dham Yatra, officials have announced plans to expand the under-construction Karnprayag railway station as part of the ongoing Rishikesh-Karnprayag railway line project.
"Given the strategic importance of the area, this expansion is essential for military operations and other activities," said a Railway Development Corporation official. The expansion of the station aims to make the pilgrimage more accessible and convenient.
"We will increase the number of railway tracks from 22 to 26 at this station. Tenders worth ₹611 crore have already been issued for this additional work, and construction will commence soon," said OP Malgudi, DGM of the Railway Development Corporation.
