The progress of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project is quite satisfactory, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said after reviewing the work here on Thursday. The minister, however, refused to give a deadline for the project’s completion when asked by reporters.
“We proceed section by section in a linear project. It is a complex project and the work is going on at a very good speed,” he said. “After reviewing the project, I am quite satisfied and impressed with its progress,” the minister said. Out of the total 508-km-long project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, viaduct has been raised on a length of 272 km. There are eight rivers on the route and bridges have been built over five of them, Vaishnaw said.
