Addition of new platforms to Bokaro and Purulia stations shortly after TT line upgrades complete. Bokaro station is a terminal for quite a few and many in near future. Adra asked for permission from BSL to dismantle sidings to add two new platforms 10 months ago. Approval is still awaited. Sidings will be shifted beside platforms at a slightly lower altitude. While platform in Purulia is already constructed, Passenger amenities and interlockings are absent. A train coming from Asansol/Adra/Ranchi/Bokaro cannot go to the newly levelled platform. Old abandoned house and few structures needs to be abolished to make proper complex switches at the station. DCM said that due to high passenger demand and freight diversion we can't take risks to stop train movement there. Atleast 5 days of interlocking tasks are to done. Freight sidings and pit line will be reconstructed to handle the demand after proper planning and timing. Bokaro...

* But, I do not see BSL responding to the request made by ADRA division as it has been 10 months. How long we have to wait if they are not replying ?
* I have seen such gaps between two face to face platforms at GKP and many stations. But, it is alright if the division is planning for new platforms by dismantling the last two tracks.
* Are you sure that the washing pit line needs water supply only ? Because when I visited it last time, the cemented platform structure...

BSL will need to invest for land levelling for sidings which is the why they may be taking time for allocation. Freight traffic is very high at BKSC compared to GKP. For efficient controlling 3-4 lines gap is good like in TATA, ADRA, KGP, PRR, ROU, CNI specially for mainline freights.
Those fixtures of pit line is a matter of a week time work for the department. Main highlighting point is water supply which is planned so others won't get affected.

It's still better than the one in TATA. Pillars were broken yet was used for a month and then got repaired and white washed.
It may take years for the new platforms to come up because the division will not be able to progress before BSL's node. It is possible that they keep delaying the reply because they are at no loss side whereas for BKSC , it is important to have new platforms for its terminal expansion.
