RANCHI: The Jharkhand government has objected to the Indian Railways’ proposal to lay an 18-km rail line through the core area of Palamu Tiger Reserve (PTR) stating that it will adversely affect the ecosystem of the sanctuary and the habitat of its animals.
On February 18 this year, the railways had submitted a proposal to the state department of forests, environment and wildlife, seeking wildlife clearance for the laying a stretch of the third broad gauge line inside PTR.
The new line, which is 291-km long, will connect Patratu in Ramgarh district of Jharkhand with Sonnnagar station in Aurangabad district in Bihar. Of the total length, an 18-km stretch will cross through the PTR’s core area.
