AGARTALA, Dec 9 (TIWN):In Badarpur-Agartala railway route trial engine might run by 20 or 22nd December according to NF Railway Official. Mega block would be imposed on the Badarpur-Agartala railway track from October 1 for conversion works and the entire work would be completed much before the stipulated March 2016 deadline.

"We would be able to convert around 227 km from Badarpur to Agartala by March 31, 2016. It would be possible because narrow gauge track was laid in a big portion of the track in Broad Gauge format. Besides, other works like construction of railway stations, staff quarters or creation of water bodies have already been completed," Pandey said before Mega Block work started. 
He said, during the period of the mega block, only tracks would be laid and finished before March 31. 

Earlier a six member team of the NF railway headed by Pandey visited different railway stations in the state and talked to people regarding their inconvenience. The NF railway is hopeful of converting the narrow gauge railway track from Badarpur in Assam to Agartala into broad gauge before March next year.
