PM Modi inaugurates 326 km of freight corridor, completing India's DFC network

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated 326 kilometres of new sections of India's Dedicated Freight Corridor network, marking its full completion. The project comprises two major corridors built by the Ministry of Railways. The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor spans 1,337 km between Ludhiana and Sonnagar, while the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor covers 1,506 km from Dadri to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Terminal. Together, the two corridors form a combined freight rail network of over 2,800 km across northern and western India. The completed network is expected to significantly boost cargo movement and ease congestion on India's existing passenger rail lines.

Why Ancient Cities Keep Appearing Under Modern Ones, Explained

Archaeologists consistently discover ancient cities beneath modern ones because settlements were repeatedly built on the same strategically valuable sites. These locations offered critical advantages such as access to water, fertile land, and trade routes that remained desirable across generations. As populations grew, new construction was layered on top of existing infrastructure rather than starting fresh elsewhere. This continuous rebuilding gradually raised ground levels over centuries, burying older structures deep underground. The result is a stratified urban landscape where modern cities unknowingly sit atop the ruins of their ancient predecessors.
