What are the details of the Ringas-Khatu Shyam rail line?

The Railway Board approved the Ringas-Khatu Shyam new rail line project in 2023-24. The total length of this new track will be 17.49 kilometers. A budget of 254.06 crore rupees has been sanctioned for this work. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) is already prepared to start the construction process.

Which stations will be developed and what is their purpose?

Two stations will be developed on the 17.49 km stretch. These include the Khatu Shyam station and the Sundarpura Halt station. The Sundarpura station will be built about 9 kilometers before the temple to manage heavy crowds during fairs and special occasions. The design of these stations will reflect the architectural style of the Khatu Shyam Ji temple.

While the project is moving forward, land acquisition remains a challenge that has caused some delays. Local residents and leaders have suggested developing existing nearby stations like Ringas, Badhal, and Sundarpura to maintain the religious atmosphere and security near the temple.
