The people of Tripura have high hopes for the medium distance superfast train Vande Bharat Express. Preparations to run this train in Tripura have almost been completed. In which the work on electrification of North-East Frontier Railway tracks has almost been completed.
According to an India.com report, North East Frontier Railway (NFR) has almost completed the work on electrification of the existing railway network from Dharmanagar to Agartala. At present, this work is getting delayed due to the implementation of Model Code of Conduct in the country. However, it is estimated that after the completion of electrification, Vande Bharat train will be launched in June or July.
Last month, Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Social Empowerment Pratima Bhowmik said during an election rally in Dhanpur, “After the electrification work, it will take only four to five hours to reach Guwahati from Agartala via Vande Bharat Express train.” Bhowmik said, “It took them (previous governments) 44 years to bring trains from Dharmanagar (the entry point of Tripura) to Churaibari, while it took only two years for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take the broad gauge railway service to Agartala. 2020 Service has been provided up to Sabroom.” Let us tell you that Sabroom is located in the southern part of the state.
The BJP leader said, “I had a meeting with Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav regarding the railway works in the north-eastern states and learned that the electrification work up to Agartala is expected to be completed by June or July.” Once completed, Vande Bharat Express will be extended up to Agartala and people of Tripura will reach Guwahati in four to five hours.
