सोनपुर रेल मंडल ने तैयारी की शुरू:वंदे भारत के लिए 1.11 करोड़ की लागत से 52 के बदले साठ किलो का बिछेगा ट्रैक

The Sonpur Railway Division is preparing to operate the Vande Bharat Express from Muzaffarpur Junction. To facilitate this, they are upgrading the track from 52 kg to 60 kg between Turki and surrounding areas on the Muzaffarpur-Hajipur rail line. A tender process for laying new tracks in Muzaffarpur Junction, yard, and...

outer areas has been initiated by the division's engineering department and is expected to begin on September 23rd. This upgrade will allow for faster train speeds and more efficient movement. The Vande Bharat is anticipated to begin operating from Muzaffarpur by the end of 2024. The Saptkranti Clone Express, operating between Muzaffarpur and Anand Vihar, will conclude its operations on Friday, completing 14 trips on September 6th. Passengers are dissatisfied due to the lack of information regarding its extension. This clone express has been operating since August 24th. The discontinuation of the Saptkranti Clone Express will force passengers traveling to Motipur, Mehsi, Chakia, Pipra, Motihari, Sugauli, Bettiah, Narkatiaganj, Harinagar, and Bagaha to rely on other trains. Passengers will likely opt for the Muzaffarpur-Narkatiaganj 15215 Intercity Express departing at 7:35 AM. The Clone Express completed 14 trips each from Muzaffarpur (August 24th-September 6th) and Anand Vihar (August 25th-September 7th). Preparations are underway to introduce the Vande Bharat Express between Muzaffarpur and New Jalpaiguri. The train is already operational between Begusarai and New Jalpaiguri, covering 471 kilometers. The railway is currently focusing on improving the 118-kilometer track between Muzaffarpur and Begusarai to enable the Vande Bharat's operation. Further plans include operating the Vande Bharat Express from Patna via Muzaffarpur to Kolkata, Tatanagar, and New Jalpaiguri. Recent surveys conducted to determine the feasibility of this route have identified Muzaffarpur-Jalpaiguri as the route with the highest passenger demand. Currently, express trains take 12 hours to reach Jalpaiguri from Muzaffarpur.

Sonpur Railway Division aapna Muzaffarpur Junction se Vande Bharat Express chalane ki taiyaari kar raha hai. Iske liye, unhone Muzaffarpur-Hajipur rail line par Turki aur aas-paas ke ilakon mein 52 kg track ko 60 kg track mein upgrade karne ki planning ki hai. Muzaffarpur Junction, yard aur outer areas mein naye...

tracks bichane ke liye, division ke engineering department ne tender process start kar diya hai. 23 September ko tender process pura hone ke baad junction par kaam shuru hone ki ummid hai. Is upgrade se trains jaldi chal payengi aur aur zyada efficient movement hogi. Vande Bharat ke 2024 ke aakhtak Muzaffarpur se chalne ki ummid hai. Muzaffarpur aur Anand Vihar ke beech chalne wali Saptkranti Clone Express, Friday ko apna aakhri trip karegi, aur 6 September tak 14 trips complete kar lega. Iske extension ke baare mein koi bhi information nahin aane se passengers bahut gussa hai. Ye clone express 24 August se chal rahi hai. Saptkranti Clone Express band hone se Motipur, Mehsi, Chakia, Pipra, Motihari, Sugauli, Bettiah, Narkatiaganj, Harinagar, aur Bagaha jaane wale passengers ko dusri trains ka sahara lena padega. Passengers shayad Muzaffarpur-Narkatiaganj 15215 Intercity Express jo 7:35 AM par chalta hai, uske sahare jayenge. Clone Express ne 14 trips complete kiye hain, Muzaffarpur se (August 24th-September 6th) aur Anand Vihar se (August 25th-September 7th). Muzaffarpur aur New Jalpaiguri ke beech Vande Bharat Express chalane ki taiyaari chal rahi hai. Train Begusarai aur New Jalpaiguri ke beech pehle se hi chal rahi hai, aur 471 kilometers ki distance cover karti hai. Railway ab Muzaffarpur aur Begusarai ke beech 118 kilometers track ko theek karne par focus kar raha hai, taaki Vande Bharat chalane ki aasaan ho. Aage ke plans mein Patna se Muzaffarpur ke raaste Kolkata, Tatanagar, aur New Jalpaiguri tak Vande Bharat Express chalane ka bhi plan hai. Is route ki feasibility check karne ke liye, recent surveys kiye gaye hain, aur usme Muzaffarpur-Jalpaiguri route mein sabse zyada passenger demand dekhi gayi hai. Abhi express trains Muzaffarpur se Jalpaiguri pahunchne mein 12 hours leti hain.
