Railway sanctions Rs.5 cr for Chhapra-Muzaffarpur rail route

Hope for a new and shorter rail route from Chhapra to Muzaffarpur has brightened with the railways sanctioning Rs 5 crore for land acquisition purposes. Distance from Chhapra to Muzaffarpur through the existing route is about 120 km; but if this new project is commissioned, the distance can be reduced to about 78 km only, connecting several villages. This new rail route was announced about seven years ago when the then Chhapra RJD MP Lalu Prasad was railway minister. Acquisition of land had been initiated at that time and out of 47 villages, land of about 22 villages had been acquired. However, after his tenure, the project failed to take off.
