Guntur–Guntakal Rail Doubling: Collector Reviews Land Progress in Dhone
A big train project is happening in India.
Trains will get new tracks and electric power between two places called Guntur and Guntakal.
The new track is very long, more than 400 kilometers.
A government leader named G Rajakumari went to a village called Dhone to check on the work.
She looked at pieces of land that were bought for the new tracks.
She also checked the roads near the railway line.
Some factories are close to the tracks and use those roads.
The leader talked to factory owners and railway workers about the roads.
They all agreed that the factories can keep using the existing road.
Because of this agreement, the government will not buy more land for a new road.
The leader asked everyone to work together so the project goes smoothly.
Nandyal District Collector G Rajakumari inspected land acquired for the Guntur–Guntakal railway doubling and electrification works at Dhone village.
The project spans 401.47 km and is expected to strengthen regional rail connectivity for passenger and freight trains.
The Collector examined 1.58 cents of newly acquired land and 3.38 cents under the possession of South Central Railway's Guntakal Division.
Industry representatives and railway officials agreed to allow nearby industrial units to use the existing road for routine access and transportation.
Following the agreement, the proposed acquisition of 2.32 cents of land for an alternative road was officially withdrawn.
