The South Western Railway (SWR) on Sunday commissioned the doubling of the 15.2-km railway line between Sanvordem-Chandorgoa-Margao in South Goa. “As part of doubling, Non interlocking work has been completed at Sanvordem, Chandorgoa and Madgaon,” the SWR said in a statement on Sunday.
The doubling of the railway track is among the three linear projects in Goa opposed by environmentalists in the state.
Preparatory works began on September 25 and the pre non-interlocking work was taken up on October 3, officials said.
SWR general manager Sanjeev Kishore said that commissioning of this double line will improve train mobility in the section as the trains need not wait for crossing.
