NFR enhances safety and speed in Lumding-Badarpur hill section through major infrastructure works 10/9/2025 9:30:48 PM MALIGAON, Oct 9: Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has carried out a number of important works in enhancing infrastructure and operational safety in the Lumding-Badarpur Hill section, one of the most challenging terrains of Indian Railways. At the Bihara-Hilara section, NFR successfully completed major retrofitting of Bridge No. 359 (3x18.3m Composite Girder) at Kilometer 159/2-3, removing the previous 45 kmph speed restriction. In September 2025, comprehensive strengthening including concrete removal, grouting, dowelling and micro concreting was carried out. Following the completion of the work, the sectional speed has been increased to 75 kmph, enabling safer and faster train operations. In addition to bridge rehabilitation, NFR has successfully enhanced track safety between Dihakhu and Mupa section (km 51/1-2) a site along a 55-meter steep slope. After monitoring measures were initiated in May 2025, permanent watchmen were deployed and engineering teams successfully carried out a track diversion and realignment project. The cut and connection work for the new alignment was successfully completed in September 2025 during a four-hour night block. The track now lies 15 meters away from the slope, ensuring safe and smooth train movement, while enabling additional slope stabilization for long term security. These infrastructure improvements mark a significant step forward in enhancing safety, reliability and efficiency across the Lumding - Badarpur Hill section, strengthening the track and supporting safer more dependable train operations. These achievements highlight NFR's commitment to safety, reliable infrastructure and passenger convenience. NFR continues proactive engineering and monitoring to ensure secure, uninterrupted rail connectivity across the region's hilly terrain.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
