He stated that modern railway infrastructure will accelerate tourism, trade, agriculture, local products, investment, and employment opportunities in Uttarakhand. He added that Harrawala Railway Station will serve as a modern and welcoming gateway to Uttarakhand for tourists, pilgrims, students, defence personnel and their families, as well as visitors from across India and abroad.
The Governor congratulated the Ministry of Railways, Union Railways Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, officials of the Railway Board, engineers, and railway staff for successfully completing this significant project through their dedication and hard work.
