Konkan Railway
The Konkan Railway is a railway line which runs along the Konkan coast of India. It was constructed and is operated by the Konkan Railway Corporation. It runs from Mangalore in Karnataka to Mumbai through Goa, along the west coast of India and Western Ghats. Beyond the technical jargon, it was a leap of faith that made the long cherished dream of the people of the region possible. They were reassured that their environment and ways of life would not be disturbed. Where they were to be displaced alternate spaces of their choice were to be provided.
In the meantime land acquisition was proceeding in the three states of Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra. The approach was human and not official. The benefits of the railway to the region’s economy were explained.
