Jamnagar News : Much Hyped Okha Viramgam Rail Project derailed
de-railed. The reason said is that Jamnagar based industrial giants
prefer road as compared to Railway,
However internal sources says that Reliance and Power plant (TPS Sikka)
are not the only driving force for this kind of project, if railways
authority can upgrade the infrastructure then they can make money out of
the growing tourism in Jamnagar and Saurashtra region.
It is said that this move is politically motivated.
