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. |
