During an interaction with mediapersons here on Sunday, Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting and Youth Affairs and Sports Anurag Singh Thakur said the 45-km, Una-Hamirpur railway line would be constructed at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore.

He said the Centre would bear 75 per cent of the total cost of the project.

The minister said efforts were being made to implement this ambitious project so that Hamirpur could be connected to a rail head.
