Gujarat Rail Projects Add Cargo Terminals, Station and Train Stop
Gujarat is getting several new railway facilities.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will launch the projects online on Tuesday.
Four new cargo terminals will help businesses move goods by train.
Another cargo terminal will be built at Linch in Mehsana.
A new railway station will open at Gopalpur in Kutch.

This will help local people reach major cities without traveling to another station first.
