demolished to accommodate the longer trains. The Malda administration has requested details on the length of platform number four (Munger platform) to assess its suitability for EMU operation. Previously, the General Manager of Eastern Railway visited the Jamalpur station and inspected the Munger platform, pushing for the introduction of EMU trains. However, the platform's length being insufficient led to further investigations. The Munger platform is limited to 10-coach capacity due to its length, which is restricted by the location of the toilet building. The administration had temporarily increased the number of coaches in the DEMU passenger train from 8 to 10 on April 22nd, but reverted to the earlier 8-coach configuration three months later. The introduction of 12-coach EMU trains is anticipated to alleviate overcrowding, enhance speed, and reduce diesel consumption. Passengers on the line are looking forward to the transition as they cite the current DEMU train's aged coaches and limited speed as drawbacks. According to the Eastern Railway's Chief Public Relations Officer, the EMU train will be implemented after expanding platform number four.
