In view of heavy freight rise in 2016-17, the then DRM of Adra division proposed a dedicated freight route from Damodar to Chandil and tripling of Burnpur-Chandil section with better signalling system to ease passenger traffic. However, only the tripling part received approval from board back then. Present DRM Naveen Kumar had put forward a DFC proposal parallel to this section to which this may have been the reaction. Alignment of EDFC in ASN-DGR section will pass through north side of Asansol, Kalipahari, Andal and Durgapur. We can expect Andal to be junction point for these DFCs along with a sizable stabling yard.
