The 120.3-kilometre-long (74.8 mi) railway line operates in Bankura and Purba Bardhaman districts in the Indian state of West Bengal.
The plans were to convert the old track with some minor diversions to a broad-gauge one and connect it with the Howrah–Bardhaman chord near Masagram.
According to Indian Railways, the missing link between Mathnasipur and Masagram was planned to open in the financial year 2012–2013.
[6][7] The 1,444-metre-long (4,738 ft) bridge over the Damodar was constructed and work on the Mathnasipur-Masagram new project was completed with the addition of four new halts – Gram Masagram (Mustafachak), Habaspur, Dadpur and Berugram.
To continuing journey from Adra to Rainagar, the new 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge line is branching just before Bankura Jn.
