station to the Konkan Railway for approval, highlighting its importance. To expedite the Hubli-Ankola railway line construction, the South Western Railway is actively working on it. The existing Hubli-Madgaon line faces limitations due to steep inclines near the Tinaighat region, leading to fewer trains operating on it. Therefore, the Ankola-Hubli line is now prioritized. The plan is to establish Ankola as a major station, connecting it to Hubli and Mumbai through railway lines. This project has been stalled for 20 years due to environmental clearances and court cases. After a fresh survey, efforts are underway to revive the project. The new design will be presented to the National Wildlife Board this month. The project is expected to gain momentum with V. Sommanna, MP from Tumkur, Karnataka, now serving as the Railway Minister. The railway minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, has confirmed the development of a new design for the Hubli-Ankola line in the Lok Sabha. This line will be a double-track line. The Ministry of Railways had earlier assured the Karnataka High Court that it would reconsider the project. They have also assured the court that they will comply with the directives of the National Wildlife Board. Construction of earthwork and bridges has been completed for the 47-kilometer Hubli-Kiranvatti section. Further progress requires permission from the Union Ministry of Forests as the line passes through 569 hectares of forest land, some of which are subject to legal disputes. Due to the line passing through the Black Tiger Project, it is being realigned.

bana ke Konkan Railway ko approval ke liye submit kiya hai, jisse is station ki importance pata chalti hai. South Western Railway Hubli-Ankola rail line ka kaam jaldi se karne ke liye actively kaam kar rahi hai. Madgaon se Hubli tak ki existing line pe Tinaighat area mein steep incline hone ki wajah se zyada trains operate nahin kar pati thi. Is wajah se ab Ankola-Hubli line ko priority di ja rahi hai. Ankola ko ek main station bana kar Hubli aur Mumbai tak rail lines connect karne ka plan hai. Ye project 20 saal se environmental clearance aur court cases ki wajah se rukha hua tha. Ek fresh survey hone ke baad, is project ko phir se chalane ki koshish ki ja rahi hai. Is month mein new design National Wildlife Board ke samne rakha jaayega. Karnataka ke Tumkur ke MP, V. Sommanna, ab Railway Minister hai, is wajah se is project ko speed milne ki umeed hai. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ne Lok Sabha mein bataya hai ki Hubli-Ankola line ke liye ek new design banaya ja raha hai. Ye line double track wali hogi. Ministry of Railways ne pehle Karnataka High Court ko assurance diya tha ki woh project ko reconsider karenge. Unhone court ko assurance diya hai ki woh National Wildlife Board ke directives follow karenge. Hubli-Kiranvatti section, jo ki 47 kilometer ka hai, mein earthwork aur bridges ka kaam complete ho chuka hai. Aage ka kaam karne ke liye Union Ministry of Forests ki permission chahiye kyonki ye line 569 hectares forest land se guzarti hai, jis mein se kuchh land pe legal dispute hai. Line Black Tiger Project se guzarti hai, is wajah se isko realign kiya ja raha hai.
