The Bhagalpur-Hansdiha train’s pace has been increased by 30 km/h by the Indian Railways. Earlier the speed of the train was 50 km/h and it is currently 80 km/h. After 15 days, the speed of Bhagalpur-Hansdiha was increased to 110 km/hour. The development will reduce the time required for the train to arrive at its location and could drastically alter Indian Railways’ efficiency.
The Bhagalpur-Hansdiha railway route runs from Hansdiha Ramgarh Road, Kasba in Jharkhand to Bhagalpur Railway Station in Bihar. Nishikant Dubey, a Jharkhand lawmaker, and Amit Kumar Mandal, a legislator, recently flagged off the Godda-Rajendranagar train from the Godda railway station.
