धौलपुर-करौली-गंगापुर रेल परियोजना के पहिए थमे!The Dholpur-Karauli-Gangapur railway project, a long-awaited project in eastern Rajasthan, remains incomplete after decades. The project, aimed at providing better rail connectivity to the Dholpur and Karauli districts, has been stalled due to the apathy of the government and the higher railway administration.

The second phase involves extending the line from Sarmatura to Gangapur via Karauli. This project was approved in the 2010-11 budget and the survey was completed in 2012-13. The proposed cost of the 144.6 km project is ₹2030.50 crores and will involve building about 20 railway stations. The project's importance lies in providing better connectivity to the Dholpur district and creating a new railway corridor between Jaipur and South India via Dholpur junction. The narrow gauge line, a lifeline for the Dholpur and Karauli districts, was initially used for transporting sandstone. The line was shut down in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequently in 2023 due to the proposed conversion to broad gauge. The closure has left residents of the Dholpur and Karauli districts without an important mode of transport. With elections approaching, the project has once again gained attention, highlighting the promises made by many representatives for its completion. The project's status remains uncertain, leaving the residents hoping for the project's completion.

First phase mein Dholpur aur Sarmatura ke beech narrow gauge line ko broad gauge mein convert karna tha. Dusra phase mein Sarmatura se Karauli hote hue Gangapur tak line badhana tha. Ye project 2010-11 budget mein approve hua tha aur survey 2012-13 mein poora hua tha. 144.6 km project ki proposed cost ₹2030.50 crores hai aur isme 20 railway stations banenge. Project ka mahatva Dholpur district ko accha connectivity dene aur Jaipur aur South India ke beech Dholpur junction se ek new railway corridor banane mein hai. Narrow gauge line, Dholpur aur Karauli districts ki lifeline thi, aur pehle sandstone transport ke liye use ki jati thi. Line 2020 mein COVID-19 pandemic ki wajah se band ho gayi, aur 2023 mein broad gauge mein convert karne ke wajah se bhi band ho gayi. Band hone se Dholpur aur Karauli districts ke residents ek important mode of transport se vंचित हो गए हैं. Elections aane ke saath, project fir se dhyan mein aa gaya hai, aur iske completion ke liye bahut saare representatives ke waade ko highlight kar raha hai. Project ki status abhi bhi uncertain hai, aur residents ko project complete hone ki ummeed hai.
