Due to a Supreme Court committee's recommendation against track doubling between Castle Rock and Kulem in the Western Ghats, and a joint statement from scientists supporting this, Indian Railways has decided to postpone the project. Instead, they will replace tracks and ballast on the existing single line between Castle Rock and...

Kulem from January 17th to April 16th. This work, approved by the railway board, involves replacing old and damaged railway tracks (TRT) and cleaning the ballast (BCM) under the tracks to improve stability and safety. Several train routes will be affected during this period, with trains terminating or originating in Hubli instead of Vasco da Gama. Environmental concerns raised by researchers regarding the potential damage to the ecologically sensitive Western Ghats region were a major factor in the decision to postpone the doubling project. The exact timeline for the doubling project remains uncertain due to extensive planning, environmental clearances, and funding requirements.

Supreme Court ki ek committee ne Castle Rock aur Kulem ke beech railway track doubling ko band karne ki sifaarish ki thi, aur scientists ne bhi isko support kiya hai. Isliye Indian Railways ne yeh project postpone karne ka faisla liya hai. Ab unke badle, 17 January se 16 April tak...

Doubling project ka exact timeline abhi uncertain hai, kyunki planning, environment clearance aur funding mein time lagega.
