The West Bengal government has decided to provide land for 61 long-pending railway projects, aiming to accelerate stalled rail infrastructure works across the state. The move follows discussions between state officials and the Railways to resolve land acquisition hurdles that have delayed several projects for years. The projects include new rail lines, track doubling, and connectivity upgrades intended to improve passenger and freight transportation. State authorities will identify and hand over required land parcels to facilitate construction. The initiative is expected to boost regional connectivity, support economic development, and help complete critical railway projects that have remained unfinished due to land-related challenges.
