Construction In early 1927, the
railway board had approved the
Qadian–Butari line, a 42-mile long and 5ft 6" wide track. It would run from
Batala–Butari, hence it was called the
Batala-Butari project. The railway line had reached Qadian on 14 November 1928. Initially, the plan was to continue building the line to Butari, but it was decided by the railway board to postpone the continuation of the line, and constructed parts of the line were removed. == Electrification ==
