Adra division has done it! We got 100% electrification, baby! This means some sweet goodies are on the way for all the folks in the BQA-MSAE area. Get ready to be blown away!

The MP opened some shit yesterday.

Yo, so this Bowaichandi-Khana New Line Project? It got shut down by SER and RB. They grabbed like 90% of the land and finished up only 20% of the work, but the project got axed 'cause RB couldn't decide. Bummer, man!

BOWAICHANDI-KHANA new line project - project SER aur RB ke taraf se band kar diya gaya hai. 90% zameen haasil karne aur 20% kaam khatam karne ke baad bhi, is project ko band kar diya gaya hai RB ki faisla na karne ki wajah se.

Bowaichandi station (block station)
• Line: Masagram-Bankura, Adra division
• How it works: Just one train at a time
• It's a station where trains cross & you'll find staff there.
• Staff quarters are nearby.
• It's super busy around here.
• It's the FIRST stop when heading Down/ LAST one going Up in BARDHAMAN DISTRICT.
• In the future, it might be a Junction on the Khana-Bowaichandi-Arambagh route.

The Bowaichandi-Khana new line project of South Eastern Railway is not doing well. The state government has acquired 90% of the required land, but the remaining land acquisition proposals are still pending. They have deposited Rs. 14.03 crore to the state government and finalized the earthwork contract on the acquired land. However, the foundation and substructure of Major Bridge No. 17 & 18 are completed, but the people who lost their land are not allowing the work to proceed without providing them with jobs. As a result, the work is not progressing. The railway has written a letter to the Railway Board to clarify the job situation for the land losers. At that time, the project's progress was only 20%. They have started the process to prematurely close contracts because the land losers are not cooperating. Now, the project has been fully closed by the Railway Board. This information was obtained from a friend working at the Garden Reach Kolkata SER HQ, and it is the status as of the 2018-2019 year.
