An estimated cost of Rs. 2042.51 crore to construct the New Bongaigaon and Agthori via Rangiya of Northeast Frontier Railway in Assam has been approved by the Cabinet Committee which is chaired by the Prime Minister himself.
The line capacity utilisation of the section between New Bongaigaon and Agthori via Rangiya is more than 142.92 kilometers.
Traffic on this section will further increase as Rangiya-Murkongselek’s Broad Gauge line has already been commissioned in 2015-16.
Bogibeel Bridge’s new line has been commissioned recently.
The project will be completed by 2022-23 and will be executed by a construction organisation of Northeast Frontier Railway.
