In SER Pink book 2011-12, 2012-2013, 2013-14, 2014-15,2015-16,2016-17, there was a project which i had earlier mentioned in many other posts also. The project was to construct additional dock platform at Hijli station for EMU trains. Money was also spent for 6 consecutive Financial years. This project was taken up by SER when it was decided to shift all long distance trains which require locoreversal at Kharagpur to Hijli stn in year 2012, 2013 year. It was then planned to run EMU trains from Hijli to Howrah to help these long distance trains passengers also. Initially SER ran few KGP-HIJLI EMU Locals also which latter Cancelled.But in Pink Book 2017-18, suddenly this project Vanished and a new project came to develop surrounding areas of Hijli stn and other works in 2018-19 pink book. This project also finally Vanished in 2019-20 pink book. The result we all know how passengers suffering as...
more... Hijli has presently no EMU connectivity, also very poor road and train connectivity with other parts of WB and even with Kharagpur. The private auto, taxi walas loot passengers when the deboard at Hijli station from long distance trains. In night time even these auto,taxi services are not available. Initially SER ran few free bus service from Hijli stn to Kharagpur stn but that also latter withdrawn. Now where is these huge money spent for 6 Financial years??? I go towards Hijli station as i go towards IIT Kharagpur areas for my office work , i had not seen any additional dock platform construction at hijli stn for EMU trains. Had anyone else seen it?????
