Union minister of railways Ashwini Vaishnaw informed the Parliament on Friday that the tentative cost of the Yamunanagar-Karnal railway line in Haryana will be ₹1,173.24 crore and the land for the project is being provided free of cost by the state government.
Vaishnaw was replying to a question by Sushil Kumar Gupta, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP from Delhi.
Gupta, who is the party’s Haryana in-charge, had asked “Whether it is a fact that even five years after the announcement of plans to link Karnal-Yamunanagar via railway line, Haryana is still waiting for a nod from the railways”, and if any fresh report has been submitted by the state or not.
