AGARTALA, June 26 (TIWN): The ongoing re-tacking work is no way possible to complete within next 7 days.
Reportedly the BG express train service in Tripura is delaying as full track has been removed from many parts of Assam area including Migrendicia, Assam.

The problem started when due to continuous water falling from hills, the water remains muddy there and the soil gets unstable. Also many other faults were found in that part including the track.

NFR GM H K Jaggi ordered  to  Change the full track at that place and to reset the tracks there.

But the work seems more critical and complicated for the workers and they said that it will not be completed so fast.

Engineers have been borrowed from other states to get the work done. The diversion was undertaken following the advice of an Austrian expert Florian Krenn, who visited the site a few days back and submitted a report to the NFR. Krenn is associated with Geo Consult, a private and independent engineering consultant providing various services in engineering on a global scale.

A synthetic carpet is also setting  below the tacks to make it stable.

Reportedly The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has decided to construct a diversion at Maigrendisa in Dima Hasao district to reconnect Silchar with Lumding. The move came after the NFR failed to repair the tracks damaged owing to incessant rain and landslides in front of tunnel 8 at Maigrendisa despite repeated attempts for more than a month.

Sources said the NFR faced a tough time repairing the damaged 140m-long tracks at Maigrendisa.

Sources said the hillocks on either side of the tracks at Maigrendisa comprise a layer of black soil, which was unable to discharge water following the rain and later it led to landslide.

However when everything was done according to rules then the climate change caused all the damages.
