speed and reducing accidents. The fencing project is expected to cover approximately 500 km of track in the Jabalpur division alone. The project has already been approved, and the engineering department has begun identifying the areas for fencing.

of train operations will provide relief to passengers during the festive season. The new railway line between Satna-Barethia stations in Jabalpur division has been completed. Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) Manoj Arora inspected the newly constructed railway line. The engine was run at a speed of 110 km per hour to test the strength of the new railway line. The Jabalpur-Ambikapur Intercity Express (11265) will return to service on October 11th. The Railway had cancelled three trains due to track infrastructure work on the Katni-Shahdol rail section. The Jabalpur-Ambikapur Intercity was cancelled from 2nd to 11th October. CRS examined the technical aspects of the track in detail. This was to see if the railway line was ready for the operation of normal trains. During this, CRS checked the signal system, power supply system, OHE line, and quality of yard operations. CRS expressed satisfaction with the arrangements. Train operations on the new railway line will commence as soon as permission is obtained. This was the third consecutive day of CRS inspection of the newly constructed railway line in West Central Railway. On October 7th, CRS inspected the 7.5 km new line in the Joba-Madwasgram rail section under the Katni-Singrauli doubling project. On October 8th, he inspected the 12.8 km new line constructed between Aslana-Damoh on the third line project on the Katni Bina rail section. Construction work on all proposed new railway lines is being carried out at a rapid pace. Along with the railway line, the necessary infrastructure is also being expanded. Upon completion of these new projects, the speed of train operations will increase. Passenger and freight transportation facilities will improve. The restoration of the trains is being done one day earlier than expected. The Railway has completed the work of connecting the third rail path from Birsinghpur station on the Katni-Shahdol rail section ahead of schedule. Due to this, it has been decided to restore the cancelled trains one day earlier. The cancellation of the only direct train between Jabalpur-Ambikapur affected passengers of eight districts connected by the rail route. The restored trains will operate according to their regular timetable. The Bilaspur-Bhopal Express (18236) will run on October 10th. The Bhopal-Bilaspur Express (18235) will run on October 12th. The Jabalpur-Ambikapur Intercity (11265) will run on October 11th. The Ambikapur-Jabalpur Intercity (11266) will run on October 12th. The Rewa-Chirmiri Express (11751) will run on October 11th. The Chirmiri-Rewa Express (11752) will run on October 12th.

yards, bridges, level crossings, and the overall infrastructure for freight and passenger train operations. This was the second day of the CRS trials. The trials focused on the newly built 7.5 km section between Joba and Madwasgram on the Katni-Singrauli doubling project on Monday. The trials also assessed the electrification works on both new tracks. The third line between Katni and Bina will ease congestion and improve passenger transport by providing space for freight trains. The doubling of the Katni-Singrauli line will enhance rail connectivity from Jabalpur to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Bengal via Choupan. In addition, the 'Shaktipuj Express' (train number 11447-48) running between Jabalpur and Howrah has been permanently augmented with an extra sleeper coach, increasing the number of sleeper coaches to seven, starting on Wednesday. This additional coach will provide more reserved seats for passengers.
