The Pune district administration has acquired 131 hectares of land out of 173 hectares for the Baramati-Phaltan-Lonand railway project. The remaining 40 hectares of land acquisition is in jeopardy due to opposition by the locals.
The new Baramati-Phaltan-Lonand single-track route is 63.65 kilometres long, with 37.20 kilometres passing through the Baramati taluka. The stretch in Baramati and Lonand is currently in the process of land acquisition.
The 131 hectares of land were acquired in the last three months by the district administration.
