Kolkata, June 11, 2013 :
The non-interlocking work for commissioning of 3rd line from Panskura to Shyamchak was completed at 12.35 hrs. on date(11.6.13) -- almost 12 hours ahead of the planned time of completion.
The Non-Interlocking work started from 28.5.13 and was undertaken at Panksura, Haur, Balichak & Shyamchak stations.Due to the commissioning of the 3rd line, Kharagpur Division of South Eastern Railway will get the following benefits :-
·3rd line between Panksura and Shyamchak (26.3kms) have been commissioned.As a result, an extra line will be available in this stretch.
·The middle line has been converted into a “reversible signalling” line.
·A common loop has been added at Panksura which will help in train operations.
·This 3rd line will ease out the train operations in the busy Howrah-Kharagpur section and will improve the punctuality of trains.
Although some mail/express trains were cancelled, short terminated or diverted during the “non-interlocked” period and several EMU locals to Panskura, Kharagpur and Midnapur were cancelled, the passengers and daily commuters co-operated with those who were engaged in the non-interlocking work.SER thanks its passengers for their co-operation.
