The union government led by Prime Minister is batting for eight high-speed networks for the railways. The proposed railway networks are being planned to spread across the country.
As part of the railway networks, it is believed that the Modi government is working on a network that is said to be connecting the national capital Delhi and the temple city Varanasi corridor.
According to the reports, the proposed Delhi-Varanasi HSR corridor is expected to be nearly 865 km long. The corridor will also cover famous cities like Noida, Agra, Kanpur, and Lucknow.
It is also believed that, the responsibility of preparing a Detailed Project Report(DPR) for the Delhi-Varanasi High-Speed Rail(HSR) corridor has been allotted to the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited(NHSRCL)
To prepare a comprehensive and error-free report, the NHSRCL is said to have to adopt the Light Detection and Ranging Survey (LiDAR) technology that is known for its high accuracy.
To get accurate data, the LiDAR technique uses Laser data, GPS data, and real photographs. Going by the report, the authorities will design the railway corridor.
The LiDAR technique was used in India for the first time for the railway projects for the Mumbai- Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor, which marks the first-ever bullet train in the country.
If the proposed Delhi-Varanasi corridor too comes in India it will add glory to the Modi government. However, it will take a lot of time to complete the railway corridors.
