How will a railway line change the lives of millions of farmers and youth? Know the whole story

Now the day is not far when Purvanchal of Uttar Pradesh will also gallop on the track of development. Preparations have started to change the picture of the area which was seen as backward for many years. A new 81 kilometer long railway line is being laid from Sahjanwa to Dohrighat, which is like a dream come true for this area.

Just think, journeys which earlier took hours by bus, will now be completed in a few minutes by train. Rs 1320 crore is being spent on this big project and work on the ground is going on very fast. It is not just a railway line, but a bridge connecting villages with cities and people with opportunities.

How and how fast is the work going on?

This entire work has been divided into three parts to complete it easily.

1. first part: It is about 33 kilometers from Sahjanwa to Bansgaon, which is targeted to be completed in the next two years.
2. second part: It is from Bansgaon to Barhalganj, which is about 37 kilometers.
3. Third part: It is from Barhalganj to New Dohrighat, which is 11 kilometers.

At present, the work of filling soil and building small and big bridges is in full swing. On this route, a very big, approximately 1200 meter long railway bridge will also be built on the Saryu River, which will be spectacular to see. The good thing is that local people and laborers are also getting employment in this work.

Now a new station will be built near your village!

The biggest good news of this project is the construction of 11 new railway stations. Trains will now stop at Piprauli, Khajni, Unwal, Baidauli Babu, Bansgaon, Uruva Bazaar, Banwarpar, Gola Bazaar, Bharauli, Barhalganj and New Doharighat.

This simply means that now people living in small villages will not have to worry about going to big cities like Gorakhpur, Varanasi or Prayagraj. They will be able to catch the train from near their home. These stations will also have all the necessary facilities for the passengers.

How will the economy of Purvanchal change?

This railway line will not only make the journey easier, but also has the power to brighten the fortunes of the entire Purvanchal.

• Benefit to farmers: Farmers will be able to easily send their crops and vegetables to big markets, so that they will get the right price.
• Business will grow: It will become cheaper and faster for small traders to transport and ship goods. There will be direct connectivity with big business centers like Gorakhpur, Varanasi and Chhapra.
• You will get new opportunities: When an area connects to big cities, new markets, shops and small factories come up there. With this, thousands of youth will get work near their homes.
• Promotion of tourism: It will become easier to reach the temples and ghats of Purvanchal, which will increase the number of people coming from outside.

In short, this Sahjanwa-Dohrighat railway line is not just a structure of iron and concrete, but is going to write a new story of development of Purvanchal. Very soon the people of this area will see with their own eyes the trains crossing the Saryu River and will smile at Purvanchal moving towards a better tomorrow.
