On that line, only Damodar river bridge construction is in progress
No work on remaining part as land not acquired by state authorities
Don't expect any progress on any new line until Mamata changes her stance on land acquisition

See the below Statement made by CPRO SER on Bowaichandi-khana new line around 2 yrs back. Newspaper cut out:
"" SER spokesman said that the completion of 24-km rail link between Bowachandi and Khana Junction stations would also help reduce travel time for trains between the north-east and various destinations in the south and the west.
The route, which was sanctioned in the Railway Budget of 2005-06, had faced land acquisition hurdles leading to delay in completion.

After that i heard Tantia construction was given contract on November 2018 for this project but after that no news....

These hold projects are mostly in the regions of Midnapur ( east ), bankura, Purulia, hooghly, burdwan, Howrah districts. There are many Railfans in these regions and also many Railway Official are in this forum. If we can find out the present status of these projects and when can be completed or if some of these projects are Permanently stopped by Railways, we can list them and atleast those projects which are still alive, . We can Tweet about this to RM, then i think if these projects gets completed then there will be huge development in West Bengal state.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
