On Monday, the Railway Safety Commissioner, Brajesh Kumar Mishra, along with the DRM, KR Chaudhary, Executive Director of Railway Vikas Nigam Limited, AK Roy, and Chief Project Manager, Vijay Kumar, inspected the safety of the line. Officials from various departments inspected the line from Ghatsila to the Galudih Suvarnarekha bridge. The inspection of the third line from the Galudih Suvarnarekha bridge to Salgajhari was completed on Tuesday by 5:30 PM. Following this, the speed trial train was placed on the track. Before the speed trial, announcements were made through loudspeakers at the gates, warning people not to enter the line. The announcements also mentioned that the third line is now operational, and people should avoid entering the line. The additional line will help reduce congestion between Tatanagar and Kharagpur, facilitating smooth movement of passenger trains on the Howrah-Mumbai route. It will also eliminate the need for goods trains to be parked on the main line while waiting for clearance.
