General Manager Mishra said that the work of 158.5 km in Hatia-Bandamunda doubling is quite challenging.

At the same time, due to it being a single line, trains are also running on that route.

The General Manager said that with the opening of the Hatia-Bandamunda line, the number of trains going to Mumbai and Bengaluru will increase.

On the question of re-development of Hatia station, he said that tender will be floated before September 30 and work will start from November-December.

At the same time, on the question of running Ranchi-Howrah Vande Bharat train, he said that it is the decision of the board.
