Though the railway restoration works are in full swing between Jatinga Lampur and New Harangajao the permanent restoration of train communications is yet to be ascertained.
The train communications were disrupted between the Lumding –Badarpur hill section since April 26 due to derailment followed by settlement of track .
Long-distance trains were allowed to pass but the passenger trains like Silchar -Guwahati etc and goods trains were restricted.
Meanwhile on Wednesday Divisional Railway Manager Prem Ranjan Kumar informed the media that for permanent restoration, more time would be required. He also informed that today a goods train was allowed to pass in experimental basis. For the permanent solution to the settlement issue, geo-scientific research would be carried out soon by one retired geo-scientist.
He added that they have been facing challenges in importing restoration materials since the condition of road is also not favourable. And the natural soil here is also not good.
Due to long disruptions in rail communication and restrictions of goods trains the neighbouring states like Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram and the entire Barak valley likely to face food and fuel crisis.
