Prime Minister Modi will dedicate two additional railway lines connecting Thane and Diva to the nation via video conferencing on February 18, 2022, at 4:30 p.m., according to the statement. The Central Railway‘s main junction is Kalyan. At Kalyan, traffic from the north and south of the country converges and proceeds to CSMT (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus).
Two tracks were utilized for slow local trains, and two ways were used for rapid local, postal express, and cargo trains between Kalyan and CSTM. According to the statement, two extra tracks were intended to separate suburban and long-distance trains.
According to the report, the two new railway lines connecting Thane and Diva were built at the cost of Rs 620 crores and included a 1.4-kilometer train flyover, three major bridges, and 21 smaller bridges. According to the statement, these lines will significantly reduce long-distance train traffic with suburban rail traffic in Mumbai. According to the report, these routes will also allow the city to introduce 36 more suburban trains.
