The movement of freight trains will be increased without any hurdles
The passenger trains over all sections of SERailway will also gain speed
Kolkata: With the direction and proper guidence of GM/SER S. N. Agrawal, South Eastern Railway has undertaken massive Track Renewal and Engineering Works spreading over all its sections.
