Tunnels are likely to be dug to connect Char Dhams – Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri -- to safer and faster. Officials are not too sure as to how feasible such a project will be. Henceforth, all tickets will carry the legend "Subsidy of Rs ... borne by the Railways'. Also, ex-servicemen are likely to be drafted to man level crossings. About 2.1 lakh ex-servicemen are likely to be recruited for such jobs.
