Abohar, December 30

The long-cherished dream of people will become a reality as electric trains on the Bathinda-Suratgarh rail section may run soon.

As part of the two-day inspection of the railway electrification between Bathinda and Suratgarh, RK Sharma, Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS), Western Circle, recently checked the work from Suratgarh to Birdhwal. He was accompanied by Divisional Railway Manager Rajiv Srivastava, Ambala Chief Project Director Satveer Singh Yadav and other senior officials of the North Western Railway.

The CRS too had held the trial run of a special train on electric traction from Birdhwal to Bathinda. The run was successful and the CRS is expecting to get the green signal for the operation of electric trains on this section. — OC
