New Vande Bharat Train: Preparations have once again intensified for the maintenance of Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat at Muzaffarpur Junction. On the orders of Sonpur DRM, one of the two washing pits built next to platform number five of the junction will be used for these two VIP trains.
Action in this regard began on Monday. A team of different railway officials from four departments, led by the area officer, inspected both the washing pits. Earlier it was decided that washing pit number two would be electrified and made ready soon for the maintenance of VIP trains.
Now both, one and two, are being looked into. A five-member team of railway officials has begun brainstorming on which washing pit can be made suitable for this. On the other hand, due to improper construction of washing pits, waterlogging is taking place even during light rains.
The higher authorities have also been informed about this. Along with the coaching depot officer, railway officials from operations, electric, signal etc. have been included in the investigation team.
Officials again active to prepare washing pit:
Last time when washing pit number two was inspected, it was found that there was no space to install electric poles along the railway line, but later there was talk of making space there. In the meantime, the matter was stopped due to the Maha Kumbh Mela. Now the officials have become active again to prepare a washing pit that can accommodate 26 coaches.
Work is underway to make Muzaffarpur Junction world class at a cost of Rs. 450 crores, but the entire work is stuck because its speed is slower than that of a tortoise. Till now the office has not been able to move to the Combined Terminal Building, whereas it was supposed to move there in March itself.
Permission was granted last year:
Let us tell you that permission was received from the Railway Board last year to run Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat trains from Muzaffarpur. In this, a plan was made to run 15 Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat trains from PMU. There was talk of running Amrit Bharat trains from Muzaffarpur to Kolkata and Muzaffarpur to Delhi. Apart from this, a proposal was sent to run Vande Bharat from here to Kolkata and Delhi.
Currently, a Vande Bharat train from Patliputra to Gorakhpur on the Muzaffarpur-Champaran route started on June 22. Looking at the passenger demand, it can be extended to Lucknow and Delhi in the future.
A state-of-the-art coaching depot will be built in Kaparpura:
A new state-of-the-art coaching depot is also to be built in Kaparpura-Kanti. It will cost Rs 300 crore. The land survey work has been completed. Once it is built, the trains of Muzaffarpur and Samastipur will be maintained there. Samastipur DRM Vinay Srivastava had decided to build a new coaching depot in Kaparpura last year.
