The conversion of the 79-km-long meter-gauge line to broad-gauge at a cost of Rs 207.31 crore is in line with the Indian Railways policy to have a uni-gauge policy. Significantly, this line, before conversion, was the oldest meter-gauge line in Asia. The newly-converted line is expected to facilitate better connectivity to Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
Lalu also laid the foundation stone for the electrification of Shakurbasti-Rohtak section of Northern Railways and flagged off two new trains — New Delhi-Rohtak Express and Delhi-Rewari Passenger.
