Indian Railways has completed 100% electrification of the existing broad gauge rail network of 1,701 km in Haryana, Union railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Thursday.
The minister shared the information on Twitter in a video featuring the Kumbhawas Mundhalia Dabri railway station from the New Delhi-Jaipur rail section, showing an old steam engine propelled passenger train and the new electric locomotive train.
Railway officials said the development will help improve rail connectivity of the northern states to the national capital through the Amritsar-New Delhi section as well as boost the speed of trains in the region.
