Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has reiterated that a new Pune-Nashik rail route has been planned keeping in mind the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) located near Narayangaon. The earlier proposed route had raised concerns it would interfere with the GMRT’s operations.
While inaugurating the Pune-Jodhpur train on Saturday, Vaishnaw said, “Many people will have this question in their head that how will the Pune to Nashik line be made? Our very important observatory, scientific laboratory, is in the Pune Nashik route. 23 countries have contributed to this. It is a proud institution not only for India but for the world. That is why an alternative [route] is being planned, and I have placed it in front of the honourable chief minister. As soon as he gives the go ahead a new Pune-Nashik route will be made.”
