At two stations in Siwan district, 'One Station One Product' stalls are selling puffed rice (bhuja). However, at three other stations, no applicants have been found to set up stalls for indigenous products under the same scheme, even after several years. The 'One Station One Product' scheme was initiated to promote... local products and provide market access to local artisans, following the 'Vocal for Local' approach. Currently, stalls are operational only at Siwan Junction and Mairwa stations. The railway authorities are still awaiting applications for stalls at Pachrukhi, Maharajganj, and Daraonda stations, which were also selected for the scheme.

Siwan jile mein do stations par 'Ek Station Ek Utpad' ke stalls par bhuja ki bikri ho rahi hai. Lekin, teen stations par abhi tak koi aavedak nahi mile hain jo swadeshi utpad ki bikri ke liye stall laga sakein, kai saalon baad bhi.

Good news for thousands of passengers traveling between Tatanagar and Howrah! South Eastern Railway is addressing a major bottleneck on the Howrah-Kharagpur section. The 125-year-old Kolaghat Bridge (Number 57) over the Rupnarayan River will be replaced with a new, modern bridge costing ₹481.11 crore. Completion is expected by the end of... 2027, which will increase train speeds and reduce delays between Tatanagar and Howrah. The current steel girder bridge, commissioned in 1900, is in poor condition, restricting traffic. Freight trains and most express trains are currently diverted to the middle line, causing congestion and delays. Trains that do use the old bridge are limited to 30 kmph for safety. The project also includes the redevelopment of Kolaghat station, featuring elevated and modern platforms. The new bridge is designed for the next 100 years, using composite and open web girders. This will improve traffic flow, increasing the section's capacity and ensuring safer and more punctual journeys for passengers from Tatanagar.

Tatanagar se Howrah ke beech travel karne wale hazaron passengers ke liye ek rahat bhari khabar hai. South Eastern Railway ne Howrah-Kharagpur section ki sabse badi badha ko dur karne ki koshish shuru kar di hai. Rupnarayan Nadi par bana 125 saal purana Kolaghat Pul (Number 57) ko retire kar ke,... uski jagah 481.11 crore rupaye ki laagat se ek naya aur aadhunik pul banaya jayega. Year 2027 ke ant tak, yeh project complete hone ke baad, Tatanagar aur Howrah ke beech trains ki raftaar badhegi aur unnecessary delays se mukti milegi. Tatanagar se Howrah jaane wali trains ke liye yeh route lifeline hai, lekin Deulti aur Kolaghat stations ke beech sthit existing steel girder pul apni age complete kar chuka hai. Sun 1900 mein commission kiye gaye is pul ki jarjar halat ke karan, Railway ne Down Main Line par maalgadiyon aur adhiktar Mail/Express trains ki aawajahi par rok laga di hai. Filhaal, sara traffic Middle Line par shift kar diya gaya hai, jisse wahan bottleneck ban gaya hai aur trains aksar jam mein phans jati hain. Jo ekka-dukka passenger trains purane pul se guzarti bhi hain, unki raftaar suraksha karan se sirf 30 kmph tak limited kar di gayi hai. Naye project ke tahat, bridge ke saath-saath Kolaghat station ka bhi kayakalp hoga. Yahan diverted alignment par unche aur aadhunik platforms banaye jayenge. Yeh naya pul agle 100 saal ki zarooraton ko dhyan mein rakhkar design kiya gaya hai, jismein composite aur open web girder ka istemaal hoga. South Eastern Railway ke anusaar, is nirmaan se teen lines ka traffic, jo ab majburi mein do lines par chal raha hai, woh sucharu ho jayega. Isse section ki capacity badhegi aur Tatanagar ke passengers ka safar surakshit aur samaybaddh ho sakega.

The survey work for the proposed new railway line in Chhattisgarh has been accelerated. Railway officials conducted preliminary surveys in the villages of Nawagarh, Khairtal, and Gangajal in the Janjgir-Champa district. The proposal for this new railway line has been approved in the state budget. The line will connect Naya Raipur... to Durg on one side and Balodabazar-Kharsia on the other, running independently of the existing railway routes. It will pass through new areas lacking current rail connectivity. Following the preliminary survey by Chhattisgarh Rail Corporation Limited (CRCL), the project was approved. The line will bypass Bilaspur, instead running from Naya Raipur to Durg, then through Balodabazar to Kharsia. The project is expected to benefit over 100 towns and villages between Raipur and Balodabazar-Kharsia. The estimated cost of constructing this approximately 266-kilometer-long railway line is ₹4900 crore, with a target completion time of four years. The project will connect several areas, including Balodabazar, to the railway network for the first time, boosting passenger amenities, industrial growth, and freight transport.

Railway officers ne Janjgir-Champa district ke Nawagarh, Khairtal aur Gangajal gaon mein prarambhik survey kiya. Is new rail line ke proposal ko state budget mein manzoori mil gayi hai. Yeh line Naya Raipur ko ek... taraf Durg se aur doosri taraf Balodabazar-Kharsia se connect karegi, jo existing railway routes se alag hogi. Yeh un areas se guzregi jahaan abhi tak rail connectivity nahi hai. Chhattisgarh Rail Corporation Limited (CRCL) dwara kiye gaye prarambhik survey ke baad, project ko approve kiya gaya. Yeh line Bilaspur ko bypass karegi, aur Naya Raipur se Durg, phir Balodabazar hote hue Kharsia tak jaegi. Is project se Raipur se Balodabazar aur Kharsia ke beech ke 100 se zyada towns aur villages ko fayda milne ki ummeed hai. Is lagbhag 266 kilometer lambi railway line ke construction par ₹4900 crore ka anumaanit kharcha aayega, jise char saal mein complete karne ka target hai. Is project se Balodabazar sahit kai areas pehli baar railway network se judenge, jisse passenger facilities, industrial growth, aur freight transport ko bhi badhawa milega.

Passengers in Bihar may soon experience greater convenience. Preparations are underway to launch a long-distance Vande Bharat Express between Muzaffarpur, a major rail junction in North Bihar, and New Delhi. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has indicated a positive approach, assuring the route's inclusion in the Vande Bharat network in future phases.... While the exact timings and schedule are yet to be finalized, the process is actively advancing. This initiative was spurred by a proposal from Dr. Rajbhushan Choudhary, the Member of Parliament from Muzaffarpur and Union Minister of State for Jal Shakti, who suggested the Vande Bharat Express on the Muzaffarpur-New Delhi route. The MP argued that current Vande Bharat routes offer significant time savings and modern amenities. Therefore, connecting the busy and important Delhi-Muzaffarpur route with the semi-high-speed train is essential.

Bihar ke rail yatris ke liye aane wala time badi rahat aur suvidha lekar aa sakta hai. Uttar Bihar ke pramukh rail junction Muzaffarpur se National Capital New Delhi ke beech lambi doori ki Vande Bharat Express chalane ki taiyari shuru hone jaa rahi hai. Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ne positive... signals dete hue bharosa dilaya hai ki aane wale stages mein is route ko bhi Vande Bharat network se joda jayega. Although, abhi train ke timings aur formal schedule ko final shape nahi diya gaya hai, lekin process ko aage badhane ki baat clearly kahi gayi hai. Actually, yeh initiative Muzaffarpur ke MP aur Union Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Dr. Rajbhushan Choudhary ki demand ke baad tej hui hai. Unhone Rail Minister ke saamne Muzaffarpur–New Delhi route par Vande Bharat Express chalane ka proposal rakha tha. MP ka tark hai ki filhal jin routes par Vande Bharat trains chal rahi hain, wahan yatris ko time ki badi bachat aur modern facilities ka benefit mila hai. Isi experience ke basis par Delhi–Muzaffarpur jaise vyast aur important route ko bhi is semi high speed train se jodna zaroori ho gaya hai.
