Encroached Land Search and Project Progress
Out of the total 70-kilometer Jaynagar-Bardibas railway line, train service is already running regularly on the Jaynagar-Kurtha section since Chaitra 19, 2078. Meanwhile, Nepal Railway Company has also started searching for its lands that have been encroached.
