But Gulbarga-Latur itself is around 150km, and including small deviations (as tracks wont be in a straight line), will come to 160-170 km. Overall distance to Latur road will be around 190-200km. Via Bidar will also be around 220 km. The distance benefit will be hardly 20-40 km.
But this line will definitely be a boon for the place as it opens up connectivity to the rest of the country!
