Tarakeswar-Bishnupur rail link nears completion
The final commissioning of the line being targeted in 2025, would facilitate easy rail connectivity between the birthplaces of Ramakrishna and Ma Sarada.
The Indian Railways is running 540 train services in the ongoing festive season of Holi for the convenience of rail travellers and to clear the extra rush of passengers.
Trains have been planned to connect major destinations across the country on railway routes like Delhi-Patna, Delhi-Bhagalpur, Delhi-Muzaffarpur, Delhi-Saharsa, Gorakhpur-Mumbai, Kolkata-Puri, Guwahati-Ranchi, New Delhi-Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, Jaipur-Bandra Terminus, Pune-Danapur, Durg-Patna and Barauni-Surat.
Crowd controlling measures by forming queues at the terminus stations under the supervision of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) staff for orderly entry of passengers in unreserved coaches is also being ensured, the Ministry of Railways said.
