Maligaon, March 25: The N.F. Railway is progressing at full throttle for achieving the Indian Railways target of becoming Net Zero Carbon Emitter by 2030. In an endeavour for complete electrification, inspection of Railway Electrification works followed by speed trial in both directions at full sectional speed in Chaparmukh – Hojai – Lumding (90.77 RKM/181.5 TKM) section (excluding Lumding yard)of Lumding Division has been completed successfully on 24th March, 2023.
The section between Chaparmukh to Lumding has nine stations. Many local and long-distance trains pass through this section. After completion of electrification works,trains from Guwahati to Lumding will operate on electric traction.
More and more passenger & freight carrying trains will pass through these sections with full pace without losing its punctuality. Traders and commuters travelling in between this section will be benefitted as the travel time will reduce. Work on electrification projects on N. F. Railway is in full swing. Electrification will significantly improve the mobility of trains in NFR.
In addition to the reduction in pollution due to the shift from fossil fuel to electricity, the efficiency of the Railway system in the region will also improve. This would facilitate seamless traffic and save time of the trains moving to and from northeast to other states.
