It has been close to 4 months since inauguration of Nasipur Bridge by PM Himself, yet NOT A SINGLE PASSENGER TRAIN has been run along this bridge, connecting Murshidabad Jn (MBB) to Azimganj Jn. (AZ). This has been a long long pending (decades old) demand of Murshidabad District passengers/commuters - to connect both parts of the district separated by Ganga/Bhagirathi river, but both SDAH and HWH Divs of ER or RB are least bothered about the pain and troubles of the passengers here.

Yo, this is the first moolah-making passenger train cruising through the fresh Murshidabad - Azimganj pathway. Earlier, only railway big shots and cargo trains were rolling on that route.
Although passenger train services have not yet started, goods trains pass through the Nashipur Bridge almost every day. It is expected that after running goods trains like this for several days, passenger trains will also start running.
