Third rail line operational in Odisha

The highly anticipated third rail line connecting Barang and Khurda Road in Odisha has been successfully commissioned, as announced by the East Coast Railway (ECoR) on Monday. This railway section's completion was marked by the inspection and approval of the final stretch of work between Mancheswar and Bhubaneswar by the Commissioner Railway Safety (CRS).

This milestone encompasses crucial safety-related initiatives to connect railway tracks, and further enhancements include the implementation of signalling systems to ensure seamless train operations between Barang and Khurda Road in the future.

Upon the conclusion of these project efforts, train services between Barang and Khurda Road will experience enhanced efficiency, benefiting Naraj and Cuttack routes, as well as connections from Puri and Berhampur. Temporary adjustments have been made to train schedules to facilitate smooth traffic movement during this phase.

Throughout the scheduling adjustments, the priority was given to cater to the needs of daily passengers, aiming to minimise disruptions. Upon completion of this work, the operational flow in bottleneck areas like Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, and Khurda Road will be greatly improved.

In preparation for these changes, ECoR proactively communicated train cancellations and partial cancellations well in advance, utilising social media to disseminate this information. Passengers are encouraged to review these details before planning their journeys for a seamless travel experience.
