After the announcement of Tilaiya Bypass (probably flyover line) for connecting Rajgir - Koderma without disturbing KG line...
Here comes Bihar Sharif Flyover line (8 km), Daniyawan Flyover line (4 km) and Sheikhpura flyover line (8 km) most probably for the ease of freight movement on Neora - Sheikhpura rail line without disturbing FUT - IPR - NES, BKP/BKPL - BEHS - RGD - TIA - KQR and KG line respectively.

After this news, the people of Nalanda, Nawada and Sheikhpura districts:- Thank you Mudi ji for freight hi freight hogi moment. 💖

Le me after reading this news:- What the hell is all this?

They're doing surveys again for doubling the Bakhtiyarpur - Rajgir - Tilaiya line... Now they'll prepare a detailed project report (DPR). Even in the DFC line doubling, ECR is working slowly. Will they make any progress? 😉 Twist: After a few months, we'll hear the news that they'll conduct another survey, then prepare a DPR... then everything will be fine if they get the funds and the doubling will continue on like an infinite loop ♾️.
