Indian Railways has connected Chhattisgarh’s Rowghat to the national rail network for the first time since Independence, with the inauguration of the Tadoki-Rowghat railway line. The 17.5-km stretch completes the 95-km Dalli-Rajhara-Rowghat project. Two new passenger services, Rowghat-Raipur and Raipur-Kurud, were also flagged off, improving regional connectivity and access to industrial and economic opportunities.
