Ahmedabad: The Indian Railways will begin operations in a phased manner on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor owing to delayed land acquisition in Maharashtra, said Railway Board Chairman YK Yadav.
The work on the corridor ran into hurdles in Maharashtra owing to protests from farmer groups and the state government. However, no such delays were reported from neighbouring Gujarat. Yadav on Saturday said the Ministry of Railways is prepared to operationalise the corridor till Vapi in Gujarat if there is further delay.
