History

The Bhagalpur-Mandar Hill branch line was constructed in 1907.

The construction of a new Dumka–Bhagalpur railway line was taken up as an associated project of Jasidih–Dumka–Rampurhat line to connect Dumka with Bhagalpur. The new railway line branches off from Dumka towards the north and connects with Bhagalpur railway junction. The 51 km railway line from Bhagalpur to Banka and Mandar Hill already existed. The railway was extended from Mandar Hill to Hansdiha was inaugurated on 22 December 2012. The 14 km line from Dumka to Barapalasi station was commissioned in February 2014.[1] The remaining section from Barapalasi to Hansdiha was opened for passenger trains on 28 September 2016. This line will serves as second alternative option for railway traffic to Howrah and Bhagalpur and decreases distance between Bhagalpur and Howrah by nearly 70 kilometres.

Planned extensions

The 97-kilometre (60 mi) long Jasidih-Hansdiha-Pirpainti line is under construction. As of May 2020, work is yet to begin in the Jasidih-Mohanpur-Hansdiha sector whereas work has begun on the Hansdiha-Godda-Pirpainti sector, The line has been complete till Poreyahat. This line is considered to be important to connect the Godda district in the Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand with the rest of India. The 80-kilometre (50 mi) Godda-Pakur line is also planned

gollark: I want something to run better on my very memory-constrained server.
gollark: This is probably the wrong place, but there aren't others for Reikan 1.7.10 packs, so can someone help trim down the modlist here? Some are notmods or folders, as I did `ls > mods.txt`.
gollark: Oh, and also seems like you just added harder recipes for a few things. Interesting.
gollark: So...you disable omnitools, fancy armor, RC somethings, BM bound stuff (wait, that's commted out), ***TC flight***, muck with foci for some reason, AE2's "blockgrinder" (is that the grindstone ore doubly thing?) is disabled, ProjectE is destroyed, no osmium tools (what?), one builder's want gone (what?), some generators gone (what?), more flight gone, no potion rings, ... and if I understand this correctly you just hide some of the recipes rather than actually fix them...?!
gollark: Hmm, zenscript seems quite horrible.
