Rake was not the issue. Malda Divn refused to take it because there is no such facilities to maintain LHB Rakes !! Construction was going at BGP but sources say that work later slowed down. If you remember I was strongly in favor of VS's LHBfication in that old blog a year or two ago along with Mr. Jha and you but later I got confirmed news that Malda refused to take it and I guess the reason was genuine. Malda Divn is actually backward right now.
