Start rail line linking Chandigarh, Ludhiana: Jain
Chandigarh Newsline
CHANDIGARH, JUNE 22: FORMER MP Satya Pal Jain today strongly criticised the Railway Ministry for "not putting to use the newly-constructed Ludhiana-Chandigarh railway line, which is ready since April 1, as it is not finding suitable VIP for its inauguration."
Jain, while addressing a press conference, said if the railway line was not put to use immediately, the BJP would start agitation and expose "the callous and indifferent attitude of the government towards this project."
He said the party would hold a black flag protest demonstration on the track, starting from Chandigarh Railway Station on July 1.
Jain said the residents have been demanding the construction of railway bridge near Modern Housing Complex, near Manimajra, and Vikas Nagar, Mauli Jagran, to avoid traffic congestion at the time of passing of trains, but nothing has been done to date. He said the quality of food and other services on Shatabadi had gone down, but no action has been taken.

Ludhiana rail link gets underway
Tribune News Service
SAS NAGAR, June 27 — One of the most prestigious railway projects in Punjab in the past 50 years — the Chandigarh-Ludhiana rail link providing a direct link from Chandigarh to all cities of the state besides the Jammu region — finally got underway today.
The Railway Minister, Mr Nitish Kumar, formally laid the foundation stone of a new railway station here as part of the massive Rs 248 crore project. It will entail the laying of a 112.09-km-long rail line, 23 bridges, three road over-bridges and 12 road underbridges besides 50 level-crossing gates, will have state-of-the-art signalling and communication systems. The totally electrified track will be able to handle trains running at a speed of 160 km per hour, the authorities said.
Between Ludhiana and Chandigarh the track will have six new stations — Madhpur, Samrala, Khamano, Morinda, Kharar and SAS Nagar. The last mentioned station is located on the land of Kambala village and the Chandigarh station is 11.2 km away from here. ...
... Earlier, Mr Badal said the Chandigarh-Ludhiana rail link was more of a necessity than a demand that had been pending for more than three decades while successive Congress governments did nothing in this regard. The rule of the BJP is the first time that the Centre had given some major projects to Punjab while earlier nothing had been done.
The latest project will link the two industrial hubs of Ludhiana and SAS Nagar, and generate jobs. He stressed the need to have industries across Punjab as the state had reached at a saturation point as far as agriculture was concerned.
The Thein Dam is complete and the Prime Minister has been invited to fix a date for its inauguration, Mr Badal said. He hoped that the Rajasansi Airport at Amritsar, once upgraded, would help in the export of agriculture produce.
