लखनऊ-गोरखपुर रूट पर चौथी रेल लाइन के सर्वे को मंजूरी, अभी बिछाई जा रही तीसरी लाइन

The Northeast Railway (NER) has approved a survey for a fourth rail line between Lucknow and Gorakhpur, starting with the Gonda-Burhwal section (61 km) which will be completed in two months. This is the first section in NER to receive approval for a fourth line. The survey will be followed by...

the creation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR) and subsequent funding approval, after which construction will begin. This fourth line will increase train capacity and facilitate smoother train operations. The existing third line project between Chhapra and Barabanki is progressing well, with a 11 km section between Cantt and Kusmhi already trialled. The project is expected to be completed within two years, leading to increased train speeds and frequency and eliminating unnecessary stops for passenger trains. The third line project between Gonda-Burhwal is also advancing rapidly and is expected to be completed in two years, enabling through-running of freight trains and reducing congestion at Gorakhpur junction, thus enhancing capacity and speed on the Barabanki-Gorakhpur-Chhapra route.

Northeast Railway (NER) ne Lucknow aur Gorakhpur ke beech ek section mein chauthi rail line ke survey ko approval de diya hai. Pehle phase mein Gonda se Burhwal tak 61 kilometer line ka survey shuru ho gaya hai. Do mahine mein survey complete hone ke baad DPR banai jaayegi aur phir...
more...
project ko financial approval milegi. Ye NER ka pehla section hai jahan chauthi line ke liye survey start hua hai. Isse train ki capacity badhegi aur train chalane mein aasaan hogi. Chhapra se Barabanki ke beech third line bhi ban rahi hai aur iska 11 km ka section Cantt aur Kusmhi ke beech already trialled ho chuka hai. Gonda aur Burhwal ke beech third line bhi jaldi complete hone wali hai aur ye do saal mein complete ho jaayegi. Isse freight trains bina rukke chal payengi aur Gorakhpur Junction par load kam hoga, jisse Barabanki-Gorakhpur-Chhapra route par train ki capacity aur speed badhegi.

देश में 29 स्टेशनों से बिना सुविधा चलाने लगे ट्रेन

Indian Railways has identified 30 stations across nine zones that lack crucial amenities, including charging and pre-cooling facilities for AC coaches.

amenities. The Railway Board has issued a directive to all regional railways to rectify this situation immediately. The affected stations include five from the North Eastern Railway (NER), which are Barhni, Cantt, Nakaha, Mankapur, and Mau. Passengers are experiencing discomfort as AC coaches are not pre-cooled before boarding, and charging points for sleeper coaches are only functional while the train is in motion. The NER administration has responded to the Railway Board's letter by initiating efforts to improve these facilities and has instructed relevant officials to prioritize this task.

Indian Railways ne 9 zones mein 30 stations ki list jaari ki hai jahan basic facilities nahin hain, jaise ki AC coaches ke liye charging aur pre-cooling. Isse passengers ko bahut pareshani ho rahi hai. Yeh problem Gorakhpur mein Cantt, Barhni, aur Nakaha stations se train operation shuru hone...

ke baad aayi, lekin basic facilities nahin thi. Railway Board ne saare regional railways ko yeh issue jaldi se solve karne ka order diya hai. Isme North Eastern Railway (NER) ke 5 stations bhi hain - Barhni, Cantt, Nakaha, Mankapur, aur Mau. Passengers ko dikkat ho rahi hai kyunki AC coaches ko boarding se pehle pre-cool nahin kiya ja raha hai, aur sleeper coaches ke charging points tabhi work karte hain jab train chal rahi hoti hai. NER administration ne Railway Board ke letter ka jawab dete hue, yeh facilities improve karne ke liye kaam shuru kar diya hai aur officials ko yeh kaam priority pe karne ka order diya hai.

Good News: पुणे और मुम्बई की ट्रेनों का बढ़नी तक होगा विस्तार, बढ़ेगी रफ्तार

The Indian Railways is preparing to extend three trains to Barhni, a town in Siddharthnagar district of Uttar Pradesh. The trains in question are the Gorakhpur-Pune, Gorakhpur-LTT and Gorakhpur-Shalimar Expresses. These extensions will allow passengers from stations between Barhni and Gorakhpur to utilize these services, while also freeing up platform space...

at Gorakhpur Junction, which has been facing increasing pressure from a growing number of trains. The Gorakhpur-Asansol Express is also being considered for extension to Bahraich. This would create a direct train connection to Bahraich, which currently requires passengers to change trains at Gonda. The extensions will not only improve connectivity for passengers but also alleviate congestion at Gorakhpur Junction.

Indian Railways abhi UP ke Siddharthnagar district mein Barhni tak teen trains ko extend karne ki taiyaari kar raha hai. Yeh trains hain Gorakhpur-Pune, Gorakhpur-LTT aur Gorakhpur-Shalimar Express. In extensions se Barhni aur Gorakhpur ke beech wale stations ke passengers ko in trains ki facility mil jaayegi, aur Gorakhpur Junction pe...

platform space bhi khali ho jaayega, kyunki bahut saari trains aati jaati hain aur space kam pad raha hai. Gorakhpur-Asansol Express ko Bahraich tak extend karne pe bhi socha ja raha hai. Isse Bahraich tak direct train connection mil jaayega, jisko aajkal Gonda pe train badalni padti hai. Yeh extension se passengers ko accha connectivity milega aur Gorakhpur Junction pe bheed bhi kam ho jaayegi.
