On February 26th, a significant day awaits the Indian Railways as Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate several new rail overbridges and underpasses across the country. The event will also mark the foundation laying of various new projects, including bridges and underpasses.
Highlights of the Inaugurations:

- A new underpass construction plan will commence at Bhaddieh railway gate in Pathardih.
- Near the Barakakana-Gadhwa Road and Hazaribagh Road stations, new railway overbridge construction plans by the railway and state governments will also be initiated.
Railway’s Preparation for PM’s Mega Program:
In anticipation of the Prime Minister’s mega program, the railway has deployed its full force. From senior officers to supervisors, all will be present at different stations where the programs are scheduled, as listed below.
