Proposals have been under consideration for some years for introducing a system of narrow Gauge railways into Kangra District with the object of opening out rich Kulu & Kangra Valleys, and preliminary surveys were carried out in 1912 and 1914 for this purpose. The prospects however, did not appear to be sufficiently remunerative and the proposals were, therefore, dropped. The project has recently been revived in connection with Uhl Hydro Electric Scheme of Punjab Government as that government consider a Railway or Tramway of some kind to be necessary both for construction of their scheme and for upkeep and patrolling of transmission lines after construction is completed. While assisting in the materialization of the Uhl Hydro Electric Scheme, the line will at the same time contribute, to the general development of the rich and fertile country traversed, and in particular will promote the cultivation and export of fruits and vegetables in Kulu; will improve the accessibility of the hill stations of Dalhousie and Dharamsala; will at the same time encourage the formation of summer resorts for the residents of Lahore and Amritsar in the Kangra Valley itself; and will provide railway communications to several ancient Hindu shrines in the Kangra District which form important places of pilgrimages for people in the Punjab.
