As per an Indian Railways official, the bullet train will move via several districts of Jharkhand, and surveys are presently underway at Giridih district to recognise routes and villages that the project will impact.

A senior officer of the Indian Railways told the media that the Bullet train would run via Dhanbad and Giridih’s Bagodar block.

Lokesh Bhardwaj, a member of the survey team, told the media that the Central Government aims to operate a bullet train from Varanasi to Howrah. They are carrying out surveys to recognise the places where rail tracks can be laid.

He additionally said that the survey team is trying to recognise the availability of land and villages that will be benefited from the forthcoming project.
