83% of Rishikesh-Karnaprayag rail route to run through tunnels, boosting Char Dham links

Most of the planned Rishikesh-Karnaprayag railway line will pass underground, with tunnels accounting for about 83% of its length. The project is designed to improve rail connectivity to the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit in Uttarakhand. Officials expect the line to ease travel to the region's major shrines and support regional development. Because the route runs through hilly terrain, tunnelling is central to its engineering plan. The original report, published by the Indian Express, provides further details on the timeline and alignment.
