identity, including its forests, tribal culture, and art, into the station's design. The DRM acknowledged delays in the underpass bridge construction due to the monsoon but expects completion by October. She also mentioned that train punctuality has improved in the past month, and further improvements are expected after infrastructure works in Gondia and the third line are completed by October-November and December respectively. While she confirmed that decisions regarding direct rail services to Raipur and Nagpur, as well as extending the Baroni train to Balaghat, lie with the Railway Board, she assured that the Board would consider any proposal sent by the MP. Pardhi, acknowledging the need for a double line before connectivity trains can be implemented, stated her efforts to improve rail facilities for the district. She also revealed discussions with the DRM about running the Patalakot Express from Balaghat and plans to raise the issue with the Ministry. Regarding the waterlogging issue in the railway colony caused by a drain flowing from Hanuman Chowk, the DRM suggested a recycling plant and said she would discuss it with the district administration. The meeting also addressed the possibility of installing elevators and escalators at Balaghat and Seoni stations.

DRM ne monsoon ki wajah se underpass bridge ke construction mein delay hone ki baat mani, lekin unhone October tak kaam khatam hone ki ummid dikhayi. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki pichhle ek mahine mein trains time par chal rahi hain, aur Gondia mein infrastructure aur third line ke kaam October-November aur December tak khatam hone ke baad trains aur bhi time par chalengi. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki Raipur aur Nagpur ki direct rail service aur Baroni train ko Balaghat se chalaane ka decision Railway Board leta hai, jo unke jurisdiction se bahar hai, lekin agar MP koi proposal bhejte hain, toh Board uspar dhyan dega. Pardhi ne yeh bataya ki unhone connectivity train ka maang ki hai, lekin double line nahi hone tak, yeh utna jaldi nahi ho sakta jitna hum chahte hain. Unhone district ke logo ko rail facility dene ke liye apne efforts bataaye. Pardhi ne yeh bhi bataya ki unhone DRM se Patalakot Express ko Balaghat se chalaane ki baat ki hai, aur yeh issue Ministry se bhi discuss karenge.

An underpass bridge is being constructed in Balaghat, near the Sarekha railway crossing.

This was a complex operation as it involved the removal and replacement of tracks, the installation of...

the girder, and the re-establishment of the electrical system. The contractor was granted a four-hour window on May 20th to complete this work. A heavy crane was used to move the 58-ton girder into place. After the completion of the process, the railway tracks were reconnected and the electrical system restored. Multiple train trials were conducted to ensure the safety of the new track. The underpass bridge is designed to last for 100 years and the current speed limit for trains passing through it is 30 km/h. This speed limit will be increased in the future.

Iske liye railway tracks ke niche girder rakhne ki jarurat thi, jiske liye tracks ko thodi der ke liye band karna pada. Yeh kaam kaafi mushkil tha, kyunki ismein tracks ko hataana, girder lagana aur phir se electrical...

system ko sahi karne ka kaam karna pada. Contractor ko 20 May ko 4 ghante ka time diya gaya tha is kaam ke liye. 58 ton ka girder rakhne ke liye heavy crane ka use kiya gaya. Saara kaam pura hone ke baad railway tracks ko phir se jod diya gaya aur electrical system ko bhi thik kar diya gaya. Is baad train ko kai baar chalaya gaya, is baat ki surety ke liye ki track safe hai. Underpass bridge 100 saal tak chalne wala hai aur iske through jaane wali train ki speed limit abhi 30 km/h hai. Aage jaake speed limit badha di jaayegi.
