The Ludhiana–Dhuri–Jakhal line is a railway line connecting Ludhiana in the Indian state of the Punjab and Jakhal in Haryana. The line is under the administrative jurisdiction of Northern Railway.
In 1893, an agreement for the construction, working and maintenance of the broad-gauge Ludhiana–Dhuri–Jakhal railway line, via Sangrur, was signed between the British Raj and the native principalities of Jind State, Malerkotla State and Patiala State, since the line was situated partly in British territory and partly in the territory lying in the native principalities.[1] in 1901, this new line was commissioned, possibly by the Southern Punjab Railway Co.[2]
Electrification of the Jakhal–Ludhiana line was ordered in 2013 but the work has started in March 2016 from Ludhiana side and foundation stone was laid at Gill. CRS Trial has been successfully conducted up to Dhuri Jn. from Ludhiana Jn. in 2019. The electrification of 62 km-long stretch of Dhuri to Jakhal on Ludhiana–Jakhal line was completed and trial runs were successfully carried out in July 2020.[3]
Tracks
Detailed survey for the doubling of the Ludhiana–Sangrur–Jakhal line has been ordered.[4]
Railway reorganisation
Southern Punjab Railway was taken over by the state and merged with North Western Railway in 1930.[5]
