DEVELOPMENT & MATURED MODIFICATIONS OF ARGORA STN ( RANCHI DIVN )
As you are aware, Argora is a Halt station in between Ranchi and Itki, only 2½ Km away from Ranchi Junction; earlier serving the narrow gauge trains of Ranchi – Lohardaga. This is the point from where Roukerla and Lohardaga lines are bifurcated. Now even after gauge conversion, this station has not much been improved due to non-availability of passengers, in spite of the fact that it is well connected by road (±1 km existing road to be upgraded). Besides, this station is well inside the periphery of Ranchi City. So, this Halt station can be developed with alluring adornment as full-fledged station.

particular station, once the RNC - LAD – TORI BG line is through & electrified, can be used for North & North-West bound trains from RNC / HTE for which initiatives are to be taken henceforth like construction of 2 new platforms of around 550 / 600m long (to accommodate 20/22 coaches). Only 1 platform having track on both sides will also serve the purpose for time being, if a 5m wide sloped underground subway is built to connect the platform. Already a platform of about 350m in length is available at Argora which can be widened in length with a track on the opposite side. It is relatable to mention here that plenty of land is available with the railway in this particular area for construction of platforms, earlier which was used for Rly colony. So, I think, it will not be difficult for Railway to start this very new project from now on, because no land acquisition is involved in this particular case. Furthermore, Start / Termination / Stoppage of some trains can, as well & at ease, be arranged at Argora alternating RNC / HTE during traffic congestion.
Furthermore, cleanse rake whenever required can easily be placed at Argora from Hatia Yard (2 km away) and vice-versa. Thus, pressure of idle rake on RNC / HTE can easily be reduced. This will be more effective if one or two extra track is put up in between Argora & Dibdih. After washing & cleaning at Hatia yard, some of the rakes can be positioned here for onward movement to Ranchi. If I am not inaccurate, keeping in view the robust increase in number of passengers / trains from Ranchi and Hatia, Argora Station must have to be developed in near future. SO, WHY NOT TODAY ?!?
