Shimla: With Bhanupali-Bilaspur-Beri rail line finding mention in the budget proposals of railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal has welcomed its inclusion among the new lines proposed in the 2008-09 budget.
Dhumal said that the state has already made a provision of Rs 37 crore in its 2008-09 annual plan as its share for the proposed Bhanupali-Bilaspur-Beri rail line.
The 63 kilometer new hill track is estimated to cost Rs 1046 crore which is to be constructed on a centre-state cost sharing basis. Cement units in the area are expected to major users of this track.
