NFR to Restore Line No. 2 by September 5th

The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has announced that it expects to restore Line No. 2 at New Harangajao station by September 5th, 2026.

The restoration work is currently underway, with around 500 personnel working round the clock to expedite the process. The NFR has deployed 22 PC excavators, 12 JCBs, 18 tractors, and specialized machinery to support the restoration efforts.

The New Harangajao yard has been experiencing continuous settlement and lateral shifting of the railway formation since July 20th, 2026, affecting normal train operations. As a precautionary measure, train movement has been restricted to Line No. 3. The situation is attributed to a shift in the natural watercourse and changes in the local drainage pattern, resulting in a heavy and concentrated inflow of water from the upstream hillside.

The NFR has undertaken intensive restoration and strengthening measures, including drainage management, dewatering, and stabilization of the affected formation, to restore the affected lines at the earliest while ensuring safe train operations. Train operations through Line No. 3 are continuing with enhanced safety measures to ensure safe and reliable movement of trains.

The restoration of Line No. 2 is expected to enable the NFR to operate more trains through the section within a short period. Additionally, Line No. 1 is expected to be restored by the end of September 2026. The NFR remains committed to completing the restoration works at the earliest, with passenger safety as its foremost priority.

The Lumding – Badarpur Hill Section has been affected by the restoration work, but the NFR is working to restore normal train operations as soon as possible. The railway authority is deploying all necessary resources, manpower, and machinery to expedite the works.

The restoration of the lines is crucial for the smooth operation of trains in the region. The NFR is working tirelessly to ensure that the restoration work is completed at the earliest, while maintaining the highest priority for passenger safety.

In the meantime, passengers can expect continued train operations through Line No. 3, with enhanced safety measures in place. The NFR will provide updates on the restoration work and any changes to train operations.
