The work on 28-km long Murbad-Kalyan railway line in Maharashtra’s Thane district is in motion. A revenue official has revealed that the land survey of the rail line was recently completed in just 15 days.
The in-principle approval for the construction of this railway line was given in 2016. A route survey was conducted from Ulhasnagar, Titwala and Murbad, as per a PTI report. The then Maharashtra government under Devendra Fadnavis had also given its approval but the project didn’t take off for a long time. In 2022, the Eknath Shinde regime told the Centre that Maharashtra would contribute 50 per cent of the cost for the railway line’s construction.
