India is a developing nation as per what UN has to say. Peep a little closer and you will realise the word “Developing” is moving at such a lightening fast pace that will leave you astonished. In recent developments that have taken place, Gurugram (Gurgaon) is soon going to get its world -class railway terminal. The Railway Minister proudly announced the project on the eve of Ram Navmi on Tuesday in an event that was organised by Northern Railway at Rohtak.
Gurugram Railway Terminal
The project has been announced and a railway terminal is to be built in Gurugram. Besides this project, a model railway station at the Rohtak District of Haryana is also on the cards. The model station is to be constructed on a public-private-partnership (PPP) mode. The project has been introduced keeping in view of the fact that there is heavy influx of population travelling to Gurgram daily.
In order to reduce the pressure on Delhi terminals, this project has been granted. Also, there are innumerable trains that terminate at Delhi from almost all the states and towns, small or big. Delhi being the national capital gets mobbed by this kind of traffic daily and to optimise it, the new railway terminal at Gurugram will take the lead now.
