It'll definitely be cheaper for IR to construct, but I've lived in the hilly areas in Rajsamand and Ajmer districts. Yahaan jitna kam development hai, woh dekh kar lagta hai ki the cheap, fast transport that railway offers can be life-changing for the people here.

To give an example of how slow things go in this part of the world: the Delhi-Mumbai highway formerly known as National Highway 8 runs through this area. Till 2012, the part of the highway that runs from Udaipur to Beawar was an undivided two-lane

road with very varying topography, poor maintenance conditions, and a few very steep passes (mostly around Udaipur).

One good-ish sign is that the MVJ-DOHM GC project is being funded using Gati Shakti. This means there's a good chance they'll connect it to the AII-MJ mainline.

I've seen this happen in ICF coaches. This doesn't happen in LHB coaches.

In an ICF coach, connect your charger to a power bank (if you have) and charge your phone using the power bank. The touchscreen will work fine.

Sir, us se fark nahi padta. Somesar jaane ke liye base tunnel banaane ke alawa koi option nahi hai. Road ka route bhi Somesar direct nahi jaata, instead it goes via Kamlighat and a very steep descent that leads to Karmal Chauraha.

Kuchh saal pehle Kamlighat-Phulad convert karne ka survey hua tha, but 4000 crore ki laagat aayi thi aur utne paise na Rajasthan state dene ko ready hai na railway board.

Devgarh se Sendra ka survey chal raha hai. Saradhana gaon ke paas Aravali mein ek pass hai, jiske through Sendra tak link karenge. Full alignment will be Devgarh Madariya to Barar, Bhim, Surajpura, Jawaja, Saradhana, and finally curve around and meet Sendra.

It is likely to be very expensive, and require many bridges to be traversable at 110 kmph. Secretly, most NWR people know that the only way this track gets approved is if its strategic importance is underlined (it would link the big cantonment at Neemuch to the western border, once the Badi Sadri - Neemuch new line is complete).

Itne mein hoga nahi lekin. Meter gauge route bahut sharp turns leta hai aur is kaaran pahadi ke beech ke bridges chhote rehte hain. Expect kijiye ki is se dedh guna tak upar jayega...

Devgarh-Marwar toh 5 saal pehle railway board ne reject kar diya tha, on account of very high cost and unbankability. Baaki saari cheezein ki sanctuary area se ho kar nikalta hai wagairah toh bas chochlebaazi hai. Koi janaa 30 km ki line ke liye utne paise nahi lagayega jitne mein 200-200 km line ban jaati hai...

Falna nikaalna ho toh Nathdwara se nahi, Charbhuja Road se Gomti, Desuri, Rani hote hue jaana padega. Nathdwara se adjoining pahadiyaan (part of Kumbhalgarh sanctuary) bahut steep hain, and the passes are very steep (Ranakpur ghat section, Jargaji pass, etc). Desuri ki naal zyaada navigable hai.

Udaipur - Pindwara ka proposal bheja tha (search for Sirohi Road in this link: click here ). 6600 crore ki laagat thi, sarkaar ne haath khade kar diye, railway ne unremunerative bataate hue shelve kar diya.

Unfortunate reality ye hai ki Aravali ko Ajmer se south mein cross karna hai toh 2000-3000 crore lagenge hi. Itna karne ki political will dikhayi nahi padti.

Yes and no. Existing tiger reserves mein se railway lines ja rahi hain, and wahaan extra lines add hone ke proposal sometimes clear bhi ho jaate hain (eg Rajaji, Darrah, ...)

Plus local wildlife enthusiasts ka maanna hai ki shayad Kumbhalgarh mein tigers laane ka proposal cancel ho jaaye, for the reason that it'll clash with the leopard zone of Jawai (which is rapidly receding into the hills), and because Kumbhalgarh is a very thin reserve and so tigers will wander out all the time.

Anyway the bigger reason it'll get cancelled is because it would be very, very expensive to do this. We are only now beginning to build base tunnels for roadways, but it will be a while before we can do this for railways I think.

Bhai mera is area mein mahine-do mahine mein ek baar jaana hota hai kaam ke silsile mein. Ye mera dekha hua hai. The alignment you've shared is impossible. Ekdum se dhalaan aati hai, saal mein chaar paanch trailers ke accident hote rehte hain. Roadways waale bhi yahaan se nahi aate, woh Kamblighat Chaurahe se Karmal Chauraha ho kar nikalte hain. Saraadhna ho kar ke hi raasta ja sakta hai, aur usmein bhi 2-3 km ka pier section hoga.

Nahi ho sakta. In an earlier post I talked about the Ranakpur ghat section, which is further down this line. Literally khaai chalti hai road ke saath saath, and the road goes along the folds of the hills. Even then, it's a 500 meters drop from Ropan Mata to Narvariya Anicut over a distance of 16 kilometers.

Again, Google Maps par dekh kar ye idea nahi hota hai. Agar dekhna hi hai toh terrain view mein dekho.

Bhai I keep saying wahaan se ho kar nahi jaaya jaa sakta. Train hai, humvee nahi hai. Highway ke chalte Bhim ka bypass already ban raha hai, on the eastern side. Wahaan se Amarpura hote hue Narbad Kheda tak rolling hills hain. Wahi ek raasta hai, and udhar bhi piers par 2-3 km ka section nikaalna padega because beech mein WDFC aata hai.

List of sections marked for possible upgradation to the MPS of 130 kmph( raising of Sectional Speed to 130 KMPH) in the current financial year i.e.. 2023-24.

PS : RB has asked for the feasibility report and line of action to be taken for the same.

Re# 5698845-32              
At least three of these sections look like they'll be limited to 110 kmph or below for some bottleneck areas:

- Beawar-Haripur on the Ahmedabad-Delhi route
- Kalyan-Pune and Kalyan-Nashik Road
- Godhra-Ratlam
...
more...
on the Frontier Mail route

Perhaps we'll see third and fourth lines introduced on these sections to prevent traffic flow bottlenecks from being formed. The National Rail Plan suggests a third line between Vadodara and Ratlam, but no such upgrades were considered for the other two sections (despite them being at above 100% and 150% utilization respectively).
