Indian Railways to construct rail line in Nepal

Indian Railways will execute a 70-km rail line project at an estimated cost of IRs 4700 million in Nepal as part of the move to strengthen ties between the two neighbouring countries, according to the reports.
The project -- to be implement by the Indian Railways -- includes guage conversation between Jai Nagar, India and Janakpur, Nepal spanning a distance of 30-km and laying a new Janakpur-Bardivas line covering a distance of 40-km, Indian Railway East-Central general manager KK Srivastava is quoted as saying.
The parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in July had re-directed the Ministry of Labour and Transport Management (MoLTM) and the Nepal Railway Company Ltd to upgrade the quality of the nation’s only railway—Janakpur Jayanagar railway — at the earliest.
Terming the inability to manage the single railway track ‘shameful’, PAC member Rabindra Adhikari has said the ministry and the railway company should be held responsible for their inability to operate the railway in a better manner.
The committee had in 2009 also directed the government to upgrade the narrow gage track to broad gage one.
The government's 10-year strategic plan has also proposed a Janakpur-Bardibas track also. The strategy focuses on strengthening and better managing the 51-km long railway line -- now only 29-km operational -- to upgrade its service standard to provide better services.
The Indian railway ministry has given its nod for the project and released Rs100 milliobn as first installment for the purpose, Srivastava has been quoted by the reports
