Demands for new railway lines in Jangalmahal region
Three new railway line sections -
🔺Chatna - Mukutmanipur - Jhilimili [sanctioned, but not started due to land acquisition problems]
🔺Jhargram - Purulia [Final location survey approved]
🔺Beliatore - Durgapur [Final location survey approved, DPR under preparation to complete by Sep 2025]
Recently
@mpbidyutmahato &
@KhanSaumitra have demanded for Jhargram-Purulia & Beliatore-Durgapur lines fastracking. Chatna-Mukutmanipur-Jhilimili works restart are demanded by various local bodies.
Multiple industrial zones, along with shortest route from Durgapur to mineral belts and ports via Chakulia-Buramara-Rupsa line. Multiple tourism hotposts [Beliatore, Bishnupur, Susunia (Chatna), Barjora, Mukutmanipur, Jhilimili-Ghatsila, Banduan-Duarsini, Sutan, Belpahari, Jhargram-Chilkigarh, Dalma, Chandil]. Links WB, JH, OD.
These are the most backward districts of West Bengal. Railway connectivity is highly essential for this vast jangalhamal region, which is still devoid of such system.
State Government should assist in land acquisition.
