The Maharashtra government has decided to continue with the Pune-Nashik semi high-speed rail project, despite doubts of the railway minister. The state government has now resumed the land acquisition project which was halted for the past few days.
Pune district collector Rajesh Deshmukh said that the state government has asked local administration to restart the process of land acquisition, following which it has been resumed.
“We have got instructions from the state government to restart the land acquisition for Pune-Nashik semi high-speed rail project. We have resumed the work. The Pune district administration has already paid ₹250 crore for the land acquisition of the project,” said Deshmukh.
