The work of doubling the rail line between Bina to Guna as part of RVNL’s Bina-Kota Double line project has reached the final stage. CRS Inspection and speed trial has been scheduled on December 23-24 followed by which the section will be commissioned. This double line will enable greater capacity enhancement with operational flexibility on the existing high-density single-line network and save a lot of time in the future.
- This will also enable planned maintenance of the tracks regularly due to the ease in getting caution and block for the maintenance of the rail track along the side.
- Despite the pandemic conditions, RVNL teams endeavored for steady completion of the project works.
