AGARTALA, March 27 (TIWN): Huge enthusiasm among the people reflects how much desperately the people of Tripura are waiting for the BG passenger train in the state.

Amidst huge enthusiasm, zeal and rituals the CRS inspection began at Agartala railway station as the future of Tripura railway depends on the report of CRS inspection.

As per ritual, before beginning with the CRS inspection, certain rituals were performed at Agartala Railway station which was attended by Railway safety commissioner Sailesh kumnar Pathak Chief Engineer, Construction, NEF Railway, and other Railway officials.

Thousands of people gathered at Agartala station to see their dream come true. The train on trial was received with cheers and enthusiasm from the common people and railway authority.

A formal ceremony was also held at the premises of Agartala station.

Joy ran high among the common people when the CRS team arrived at Agartala as the commencement of the BG train in Tripura depends on CRS inspection report.

The train was received amidst cheers and enthusiasm when the rail head along with vacant bogies entered the railway station.

PM Narendra Modi’s “Look east” policy has made it successful to pave the way of the BG railway service to Tripura after years of waiting. 2016 has created a history for Tripura as Narendra Modi led Central Govt accelerated growth in Northeastern region.

The broad gauge will help boost Tripura's economy and overall development and after years of political mind game the people of Tripura have got their first BG train in the state.

Reportedly, the British took just eight years to lay the metre gauge.

But due to politics and lacklustre attitude of Manik ruled state government and its political partner Congress, it took years to change the metre gauge into Broad-gauge.

All these sped up work is only due to the good initiatives of the central government. After a long period finally the laying and constructing of Broad Gauge (BG) Railway tracks of Mega Block conversion from Badarpur to Agartala has already been completed. Adding another milestone in the history of Tripura, the land-locked state has finally made its entry in the BG Railway map of the country with the continuous movement of goods loaded train in the track.

It is only because of the focus of the central government that today Tripura has made its entry to the railway map of the nation.
