BJP national general secretary Thawarchand Gehlot demanded the Union government to lay a new railway line between Ujjain Junction and Jhalawad. Raising the issue in the Rajya Sabha under the Rule 180 on Friday, Gehlot said that the people of Agar district have been in deep resentment due to the non- availability of train facility. He informed the House that there happened to be a narrow gauze line between Ujjain and Agar before Independence and trains used to arrive and depart till 1975- 76; but during the Emergency, the track was fished- out. Since 1976, the people had been demanding a new railway line between Ujjain- Agar- Jhalawad and Ramganj Mandi. Both NDA and UPA governments had carried out a survey in this regard, but the new railway line has not been sanctioned yet, he informed. |
