The Northern Railway has started a primary engineering and traffic (PET) survey to explore the technical and social feasibility of the rail line between Bilaspur and Ranital in Kangra district.
The length of the proposed railway track between Bilaspur and Ranital would be 100 km. This stretch would have 12 stations — three in Kangra district, six in Hamirpur and three in Bilaspur.
Railway stations are proposed at Ranital (Jawalamukhi road), Balugloa, Jawalamukhi, Nadaun, Jatiala, Harkhalsa, Hamirpur, Bhota, Jari, Babheli, Panol and Bilaspur.
