PUNE: The Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (MRIDCL) has submitted a revised railway track alignment plan for the proposed Pune-Nashik high-speed train in Khed tehsil after the defence department sought changes in the original plan, putting land acquisition on hold.
The land acquisition in Khed tehsil for the proposed Pune-Nashik high-speed rail project was put on hold after the defence department asked the district administration to revise the railway track alignment in the original detailed project report (DPR), reasoning that it passed through an explosive destruction facility of the army.
Vineet Nair, defence estates officer of the Pune circle, said, “There was an issue regarding railway track alignment. So now, a newly revised alignment has been submitted by the MRIDC and after going through it, we will recommend the further process.”
