The Northeast Now published a news report on February 15, 2019 hinting at completion of the double railway track from Hojai to Lumding by March 31 as the construction work of the same was going on in full swing.
The doubling of railway track, which has been a long-standing demand of the people, is expected to cut down the travelling time and expenses.
The foundation stone for the project of double railway line of nearly 45 km, from Hojai to Lumding, was laid on September 12, 2016 by Assam chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal and union minister Rajen Gohain.
The doubling of railway track is one of the many railway projects being undertaken by the authorities to improve railway infrastructure in the Northeast.
In the last few years, several railway projects have been sanctioned and introduced for the benefits of the people in various parts of Assam.
