Bullet train to connect Delhi and Ayodhya soon

As per the latest developments, Ayodhya is all set to get bullet train connectivity. Reportedly, the Delhi-Varanasi corridor, for which the detailed project is being chalked out, will connect popular spots such as Mathura, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Agra, Jewar airport.
According to the National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL), which is responsible for preparing the detailed report, the train will also connect Lucknow, Etawah, Bhadohi, and Raebareli. Reports state that the corridor will cover highways, ghats, densely populated urban and rural areas, roads, and green fields.
The NHSRCL is also implementing the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project. Light Detection and Ranging Survey (LiDAR), which is a laser equipment on a helicopter for ground survey, shall be implemented for the Delhi-Varanasi corridor. It will be crucial for implementing the fastest possible route for the train.
Till now, the LiDAR technology has been used in the highways sector for ground survey and finalizing alignment, and to get approximate details on the ground in the quickest possible time. The said technique further uses a combination of GPS data, laser data, flight parameters and actual photographs to give accurate survey data.
It has been witnessed that the said technology has helped to create DPRs for highway projects, which has helped to zero down on the acquisition of the exact land for construction purposes. LiDAR was also used for the Mumbai- Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor, majorly because of its high accuracy.
