Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan met Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav at Rail Bhavan in New Delhi today and discussed various rail projects related to the state.

Chouhan requested the Union Railway Minister to complete the Indore-Manmad and Indore-Dahod railway links at the earliest. Along with this, he also assured that appropriate action would be taken by the state government in land acquisition for these projects.

Chouhan said that the completion of these two link projects would help in further industrialisation of Indore, Pithampur and Dhar areas. He also requested to fulfill the long-standing demand of the Indore-Budhani rail project at the earliest.

Chouhan said that the state government has a target to run Metro in Indore and Bhopal cities before September this year. This will require experts. He requested the Union Minister to provide expert manpower in this regard.
