Government Initiates Land Acquisition for Delhi-Ambala Rail Line Expansion Project
The Indian government has begun acquiring approximately 8.5 hectares of land in Haryana's Panipat district for the Rs 5,983-crore Delhi-Ambala third and fourth railway line project. Approved in February, this 198-km expansion aims to decongest a busy route, enhance connectivity across northern India, and increase freight capacity by 24 million tonnes. Notifications invite objections within 30 days, with final decisions by the district revenue officer. The project includes bridge construction and is expected to complete in four years.
