The approved alignment connects Mohali to Rajpura via Banur and Shambhu, linking the route with the Grand Trunk (GT) double-line corridor between Amritsar and Delhi.
Sir, are you sure its via Banur and Shambhu?Banur to Shambhu shortest distance will be atlest 20 km and Banur to nearest line is Saneta, around 12 km. So link will be around 32 km. It hardly makes any sense when Rajpura to Saneta is hardly 20 km (crow fly). As per Dainik Bhaskar, link wil be via Nalas and Saneta.
Valid point....but the Railways also wants to decongest Shambhu-Rajpura section..... let's go by the Pink Book of the Railways, not by Dainik Bhaskar....
Another point is,how will it reduce 55 km? Rajpura to Chandigarh via Ambala is less than 80 km. It's not possible to reduce the distance to 25 km without shifting the cities.
Would have liked if you had highlighted the persistence efforts of Dr Dharamvira Gandhi (MP Patiala) who was the first to get the project approved through his tireless advocacy . It was due to his efforts that the project was first included in the railways Pink book in 2017 -18, but you have simply brushed aside his contribution only as a “dream” .

Please read – sufficient coverage has been given to his efforts, which are no doubt invaluable.
