World’s highest rail track survey to commence
The Railways will kick off the final location survey of the 498 km long Bilaspur-Manali-Leh line at Leh in Jammu and Kashmir this week. The all-weather Leh rail network is one of the four important railway connectivities identified by the defence ministry along the China border. The proposed new rail line will connect all important locations between Bilaspur and Leh.
