The Railway Department has issued a tender of Rs 430 crore for this project, which is expected to improve the traffic methods of the region.
Construction of new railway line from Ghuguli to Maharajganj
In the first phase, a 24.8 km long new railway line will be laid from Ghughuli to Maharajganj. A total of 36 small and large bridges will be constructed under this project. A large railway station will also be built in Mahua, which will be the main center of operating both passengers and goods trains. Five railway lines will be laid at this station, which will not only increase passenger service, but will also run the freight services smoothly.
Construction of Halt Station in Shikarpur and Pipra Munderi
Keeping in mind the convenience of local passengers, halt stations will be constructed at Shikarpur and Pipra Munderi. These stations will get better benefits of rail service to people from surrounding rural areas. Halt stations are expected to make the journey more convenient and faster, especially for those who travel at short distances.
Connection with railway network will develop the area
According to railway officials, the second phase of tender will be released soon, under which the railway line from Maharajganj to Anandnagar will be expanded. After the completion of this project, Maharajganj district will have a direct connectivity to the railway network, which will provide major facilities to the residents, especially students and employed people.
