So the moot point is, the proposed line will follow the Grand Chord line from Dhanbad upto Karmatand (Dokra Halt) rather than Pradhankunta Jn. The line will separate from Dokra and likely branch from after the Dhangi Hill and go over the Kolkata-Delhi Hghway and take a parallel route to the Dhanbad - Sahibganj route upto Tundi and go into Jamtara district and branching off towards the Usri Falls and then entering both Giridih and New Giridih with an ROR link line at GRD.
The proposed link up at Giridih will likely...
more... open up a link up to Maheshmunda - Madhupur line.
This line will require a good flow of passenger trains to compete with the bus lobby, as this proposed line is comparable to the road distance and patronage will be decent!
In my opinion the line could have been started from DHN itself and run parallely to the Grand Chord line and separate from Dokra, the Grand Chord and the DFC lines should have been kept undisturbed ! This line could have built like the proposed new aligned DC line.
This is because with the new alignment of Patherdih-Pradhankunta line will facilitate a substantial movement of freight trains from ADRA-TATA side, and ultimately lead to a Bermuda Triangle between PKA and GMO. Also it is very liekly, this DHN-GRD will also be linked up to the proposed MDP-DHN power corridor.
Ofcourse, I am being highly optimistic, but what are your opinions ?
please wait...Translate to EnglishSo basically, they're saying that they're planning to build a new train line from Dhanbad to Karmatand instead of Pradhankunta Jn. It will go over the Kolkata-Delhi Hghway and eventually connect with Maheshmunda - Madhupur line. The new line will have to compete with buses and needs a lot of passengers to make it successful. They feel that the line could have been built straight from DHN and not disturbed the Grand Chord and DFC lines.
please wait...Translate to HindiToh cheez yeh hai ki, naya line Dhanbad se Karmatand (Dokra Halt) tak Grand Chord line ko follow karega, Pradhankunta Jn ke bajay. Dokra se line alag hogi aur Dhangi Hill ke baad se Kolkata-Delhi Highway par jaaygi aur Dhanbad - Sahibganj route se Tundi tak parallel route par jaakar Giridih aur New Giridih mein jayegi, jaha pe GRD mein ROR link line hogi.
Giridih mein proposed link up se Maheshmunda - Madhupur line tak link up khulne ki sambhavna hai.
Is line ki competition bus lobby ke saath karne ke liye acchi train ke flow ki zaroorat hogi, kyunki line road distance aur passenger strength ke liye theek hai.
Mere khayal mein line DHN se hi shuru ho kar Grand Chord line ke saath parallel chalni chahiye thi aur Dokra se alag honi chahiye thi. Grand Chord aur DFC lines ko disturb nahi kiya jaana chahiye tha! Proposed new jaisi line banayi ja sakti thi...
